Comparisons
Card-rip apps, head-to-head
Can’t decide between two apps? These breakdowns put them side by side on captured data — odds, entry price, buy-back and ceiling — and each one names a winner.
Compare on one dimension, across every app

How good is the app's own valuation?
Courtyard shows its Market Value, a Confidence flag and its own recent sales on one screen — so we can check the first against the third. It is accurate above a population of 13, badly off below it, and the confidence flag runs the wrong way.
