Simple pricing for a product that still values product honesty.
Cardinal is still in a controlled beta, so the public plan structure stays intentionally simple: free beta access now, one paid Pro tier once rollout opens, and a later team path for shops and shared buying workflows.
Beta Access
Best for early testers who want the core decision loop while Cardinal is still tightening data coverage and product scope.
- Market movers and search across the beta launch slice
- Card detail with reference pricing, trend, and grading ROI
- Watchlist support and portfolio import foundation
- Magic-link and Google sign-in for approved testers
Access is currently allowlist-controlled while the launch slice stays curated.
Pro
Best for serious collectors, flippers, and investors who want the full Cardinal workflow once broader rollout begins.
- Full card detail workflow with deal signal and grading ROI
- Portfolio snapshots, watchlists, and deeper follow-up tooling
- Priority access to new market-data and catalog expansions
- Early access to alerts and post-beta workflow upgrades
Target launch tier. Final packaging may shift once live listing ingestion and broader catalog depth are in place.
Team / Shop
Best for stores, breakers, and multi-seat buying teams that need shared workflows once Cardinal's individual loop is proven.
- Multi-seat access and shared market-review workflows
- Team-oriented buying and grading coordination
- Operational views for higher-volume inventory decisions
- Priority onboarding once collaborative tooling is live
Not part of the first beta surface. This tier is planned for the post-beta roadmap.
Pricing should make the product feel clearer, not more confusing.
Is Cardinal paid during beta?
Beta access is currently invite-only and does not have a separate paid checkout flow yet. The pricing page is here now so early users understand the intended rollout path.
Why is there only one main paid tier right now?
The product is still proving the core buy-or-grade loop. A simple single-seat Pro plan is the cleanest way to launch once the data and workflows are stable enough for broader access.
What changes before Pro is broadly available?
The highest-priority upgrades are real listing ingestion, broader catalog coverage, and more mature mobile and portfolio workflows. Pricing is kept simple until those pieces are in place.
Next step
Get into the beta now, then decide whether Cardinal earns a permanent spot in your stack.
The current product is still invite-only, but the pricing structure is now visible so users understand what broader rollout is building toward.
