An iCollect alternative for private, multi-category collecting.
For collectors who want one vault for everything, without making their inventory depend on an account cloud.
iCollect is built around broad collection databases. AssetVault takes the other side of that problem: a private record of the things you actually own, with photos, values, receipts, serial numbers, location, condition, export, and optional AI when you ask for it.
Best fit: AssetVault is strongest when your collection spills across categories: cards, comics, Funko Pop figures, watches, bottles, firearms, tools, jewelry, home assets, and estate records.
iCollect vs AssetVault
| Need | iCollect-style app | AssetVault |
|---|---|---|
| Collection database | Strong category databases and templates | Private ownership record across categories |
| Offline privacy | Account/database model varies by product | Core inventory lives on device; no AssetVault inventory cloud |
| Export | Depends on app/export path | Full Export ZIP with CSV, JSON, and photos |
| Insurance/estate records | Collector-focused | PDF reports, receipts, serials, values, legacy notes |
| Optional AI | Database-first | AI Photo ID, bulk photo import, and pre-grade tools in Collector+ |
Move your collection
- Export a CSV from iCollect. Use the broadest export available so names, notes, values, and category details come through together.
- Open AssetVault's import wizard. Choose iCollect and review the column mapping before saving.
- Spot-check custom fields. Collection apps label fields differently, so verify 10-20 rows before importing a large library.
- Attach the photos that matter most. AssetVault keeps photos local and includes them in Full Export.
