In short
Dex is a free app for collectors who also play: a card scanner, a deck builder with hand simulation and draw odds, and a database covering every English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese set. It runs on iOS, Android and the web, with an optional Dex+ subscription at about $3.99 per month.
CollectHolo is a collection and market tool rather than a play tool. It has no deck builder, but it values what you own with Cardmarket (EUR) alongside TCGPlayer, eBay, Fanatics and Goldin graded sales, tracks profit & loss for free, and covers sealed products and graded cards across six languages.
