Tomebound vs Deckbox

Deckbox is one of the older Magic collection sites, with strong trading features. Tomebound is newer and built around tracking and organizing the cards you own.

Which is better for tracking a Magic collection, Tomebound or Deckbox?

It depends on whether you trade with strangers online. Pick Deckbox if you want a public tradelist and wishlist, matching against other users, and trade tracking. Pick Tomebound if you want to organize cards by where they are stored, see daily price history, check decks against what you own, or ask an AI assistant about your collection. Tomebound has a trade view for in-person swaps, but it does not match you with other users.

What each one is for

Deckbox describes itself as a site for collection management, deckbuilding and trading. It keeps an inventory, a tradelist and a wishlist, and has a deck builder that shows missing cards.
Tomebound keeps your collection by printing, finish, condition and language, stored in containers such as binders and boxes, with decks that check ownership.

Price, as of October 2026

Deckbox says your collection stays free. A Premium plan costs $5.99 per month, or $47.88 billed yearly ($3.99 per month). Premium adds unlimited mobile scanner additions and inventory tags, trade tools such as matching tradelists against wishlists, and a web experience without ads.

Specifics

Trading: Deckbox's trade tools are more developed. Tomebound's trade view compares what you give and get, balances the two totals, and records the swap in your collection with one undo.
Prices: Deckbox's pages I read do not name a price source. Tomebound uses Scryfall prices, updated daily, and keeps daily value history for your collection, containers and decks.
Locations: Tomebound has containers and decks. A card can be located in a specific one.
Import and export: Deckbox imports and exports CSV files. Tomebound imports many formats, including Deckbox, and exports back to Deckbox CSV.
AI assistants: Tomebound connects to Claude (listed in its connector directory), to ChatGPT through its custom connector setup, and to other MCP clients. I did not find an assistant integration from Deckbox.

Move your collection from Deckbox to Tomebound

In Deckbox, export your inventory as a CSV. Deckbox's help page on exports and imports explains the format.
In Tomebound, open Add Cards, choose import, and upload the file.
Tomebound reads count, name, edition, card number, condition, language and foil, and maps Deckbox's "Good (Lightly Played)" to lightly played.
Signed, altered and misprint copies come in as regular copies with a warning. Review the import, pick a location, and confirm. You can undo it in one step.

See the import help for every supported format and field.
