What sets RipWorth apart
Shop and stream in one
Most tools focus on collectors or on streaming. RipWorth combines counter buying (rates, condition, sessions) with a full stream package.
The card version, not just the name
Frames, stamps, EN/JP prints and many cards in one photo — where mistakes cost the most.
European and US markets together
TCGplayer for ~60 games and exactly matched Cardmarket prices for the four biggest, in EUR, USD or PLN.
Streams that engage
Three hit tiers with effects and sound, a break tracker, a chat guessing game, a phone remote and automatic hit clips in OBS.
When something else is a better fit
You’re a collector and want it free
Free phone scanners such as Collectr, the TCGplayer app or mTCG.pl are enough for checking single cards.
You need inventory, POS and marketplace listing
SortSwift and TCG Sync combine buying with inventory, POS and listing sync across marketplaces. RipWorth currently exports sessions to CSV.
You sort thousands of cards a day
Hardware sorters (ROCA, SortSwift) handle over a thousand cards an hour. RipWorth is a photo and camera scanner, not a machine.
You sell directly on stream
HitScanTCG offers an on-stream shop with a queue and payments; RipWorth shows prices and leaves selling to your platform.
