Yes. Browsing the catalog is free with no account; a free account adds a collection, ratings and reviews, and the price guide within daily limits. Collector ($49/year) adds unlimited collections, pull lists, the full price guide and eBay; Vendor ($199/year) is the same toolset for shops and dealers. Plans are billed annually.

How do I find out what a comic is worth on NerdCraft?

Sign in, open https://www.nerdcraft.app/priceguide and search by title and number (e.g. "Spawn #228") or by barcode / UPC — or open the issue's page and its Price Guide tab. Values are shown per grade (Raw, Low, Mid, High, Max) from guide values and recorded sales.

How do I track my comic collection on NerdCraft?

Create a free account, add issues from any issue page (or import a CLZ, Key Collector or League of Comic Geeks export), and open your collection to filter, sort and see its value. Collector unlocks unlimited collections and the collection overview dashboard.

How do I see new comics coming out this week?

Open https://www.nerdcraft.app/new — every release week (New Comic Book Day is Wednesday) with filters for publisher, character, format and variants; a weekly New Comic Book Day post and email lists the picks.

Does NerdCraft have a mobile app?

A NerdCraft mobile app — scan a barcode or snap a cover to identify the issue and variant, see its value and add it to your collection — is coming soon.

Why NerdCraft

One account instead of five apps. The catalog, your collection and its value, key issues, the price guide, new releases with pull lists, crossover reading orders, news and conventions live together — collectors otherwise juggle a collection tracker, a key-issue app, a price guide, a release calendar and a news reader.
Every variant is its own issue. Each cover, ratio variant, retailer exclusive, printing and newsstand edition is a separate record with its own cover image, so you track and price the exact copy you own.
Values from real data, by grade. The price guide shows Raw, Low, Mid, High and Max per grade from guide values and recorded sales; where there's no data, no value is shown — nothing is made up.
Keys you can slice. Every key issue is tagged by type — First Appearance, First Cover, First Cameo, Death, Origin, First Solo Series, Creator First / Last Work — and tags combine into shareable links.
Pull lists that fill your collection. Subscribe to a series and each new issue is added to the collections you choose, with your cover preference, the moment it's in the catalog.
Free to start, one annual price. The catalog, a collection, ratings and the price guide (within daily limits) are free; Collector is $49 a year and Vendor $199 a year — no other fees.
