Legendsverse vs iCollect
App Store reviews say iCollect lets you add about 15 figures before it asks you to pay. Legendsverse tells you the free limit before you sign up: 25 figures. Its checklist already lists every wave, exclusive and Build-A-Figure, so you tick figures instead of building the list.
- Free for 25 figures
- No credit card
- No ads
Quick answer
For most action figure collectors, Legendsverse is the better choice. You see the free limit of 25 figures before you start, the checklist is built around waves, exclusives and Build-A-Figures, and Unlimited costs $37 a year, where iCollect Pro is $79.99 a year. iCollect is enough if you want one app for figures, movies, books and LEGO, and you prefer a one-time unlock.

Why collectors look past iCollect
Public comments, quoted word for word.
“The app doesn't tell you that you have to pay for more than 15 entries in your list until after you've spent the time inputing them.”
“got to about the 15th figure when I had a pop-up message saying that I reached my limit and if I wanted to go further, I would have to purchase the full version for $30.”
The price
Is $37 a year worth it next to iCollect?

Questions collectors ask
- How many figures can I add to iCollect for free?
-
The App Store listing says large collections need an in-app purchase and gives no number. Reviews report a limit of about 15 figures. Legendsverse is free for 25 figures and says so before you sign up.
- How much does iCollect cost compared with Legendsverse?
-
The App Store lists Unlimited Action Figures at $29.99 or $49.99 as one-time purchases, and Pro User at $79.99 a year. Legendsverse Unlimited is $37 a year, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- How much does Legendsverse cost?
-
Legendsverse is free for your first 25 figures, with no credit card. Unlimited costs $37 a year, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Neither plan shows ads.
- What is free, and what needs Unlimited?
-
Free: the checklist of every line, your collection value, up to 25 figures, up to 25 pre-orders and 25 wishlist figures, export to CSV or Excel, and the ChatGPT and Claude connector. Unlimited removes the limits and adds live shipment tracking, restock, pre-order, sale and price alerts, and your value history.
- Where does the collection value come from?
-
Today Legendsverse records new eBay sales for DC Multiverse, Mafex and Marvel Legends. It watches eBay listings by the UPC of each figure. When a listing ends in a confirmed sale of a new figure, that price is recorded. Used, loose and lot sales are left out. When a figure has recorded sales, its market value is the average of its most recent day of sales. A figure with no recorded sale counts at its retail price. Your collection value is the sum of the values of the figures you own, and it is free on every plan.
- Does Legendsverse have a phone app?
-
Legendsverse runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, and you can add it to your home screen. It has no App Store or Google Play app.
- Do the figures I tick on this page carry over?
-
Yes. The figures you tick in the checklist on this page stay on this device, up to 10, and go into your collection when you create a free account.
Run your collecting, not a list
Your first 25 figures are free. Tick what you own, add your pre-orders, and see what your shelf is worth.
