What Gundex is built to do
Gundex, from Gundex LLC, is listed in the Reference category and describes itself as a companion for building and managing a Gundam card collection, made by a collector. Its App Store page says you can discover new sets, track what you own, organize favorites and wishlists, and watch your collection’s value grow over time. The site adds that it works across iOS and Android and links to both the App Store and Google Play, and its privacy policy describes accounts, optional public profiles and share links for collections and decks. Gundex says it is an independent, fan-made app, not affiliated with Bandai Namco.
As listed on October 1, 2026, the iPhone and iPad app is free to download, requires iOS 15.5 or later and is rated 4.65 from 20 ratings. It lists one in-app purchase, Gundex Full Burst, at $4.99 monthly. The latest update, version 1.0.11 on August 11, 2026, added LKC, LKU and LKR rarity filters and a dedicated SP filter.
What GunTomo is built to do
GunTomo is a Gundam Card Game scanner for iPhone. It follows one loop: open the camera, identify the card, add it, scan the next. The camera reads the card code on the device and photos are not uploaded.
It tells LR, LR+, LR++, parallel and promo versions apart, so you see the price of the exact variant. Prices come from public TCGplayer data, in the currency you choose, and your collection, shown by set with copies and total value, is synced through your iCloud. A watchlist holds the cards you are chasing, and set pages show real sealed-product packaging, so the sets look like the boxes on your shelf. Check GunTomo's official page for current store details.
Browsing and tracking, or scanning and pricing
The two apps start from different places. Gundex is built around the catalog: search sets, look at artwork and decide what to chase, then mark what you own. Neither its App Store page nor its site describes scanning a card with the camera, so adding a pile of loose cards means searching the catalog card by card.
GunTomo starts from the camera. For someone sorting a box or a binder, the time between cards matters, and GunTomo is designed so you can confirm, add and scan the next card without extra taps, with the variant named. If you already know which cards you own and want to browse, the catalog approach is enough.
Where Gundex is stronger
Gundex is stronger on availability and reach. You can install it today, it runs on Android and iPad as well, it has a free tier, and its wishlist and favorites are shown front and center on its site. It also lets you share a collection or deck through a link, and it has a Discord community, which GunTomo does not list. It also has a track record on the App Store: a release in December 2025 and updates through August 2026.
GunTomo cannot match that yet. It has no release date to compare, and it is described for iPhone. If you need Android, or you need an app this week, Gundex is the clear choice.
Prices and what is not stated
Price sources are the part we could not compare. Gundex says it lets you watch your collection’s value, but neither its page nor its site says where prices come from or how it treats parallels and promos. GunTomo says it uses public TCGplayer data for the exact variant.
Before you rely on either for a large batch, test a few expensive variants and compare against a marketplace listing. For pricing there is a longer guide on how to value a Gundam card collection.
How to choose
Choose Gundex if you want to start now, you use Android or an iPad, you like browsing the catalog and a free tier is enough. Choose GunTomo, once it is out, if the job is scanning and valuing a lot of cards and the exact variant decides the price.
The two are not mutually exclusive: one can be your catalog and the other your scanner. Whichever you pick, keep your own list of what you own, so a move between apps never means starting over.
