What Stamp ID Pro does well
- The veteran of the category — on the App Store since 2019, years before the current wave of AI scanners.
- A methodical wizard approach (process of elimination) that US specialists may prefer over pure AI guessing.
- The cheapest one-time unlock in this comparison at $9.99.
What to weigh before subscribing
- US stamps only — no worldwide identification, so an inherited mixed album is largely out of scope.
- Identification-focused: its listing centres on identifying the stamp, not estimating what it's worth.
- Its last listed update was June 2025 — by far the longest gap of any app compared here.
How Stampo is different
- One honest price. Stampo has a single Annual Subscription at $14.99/year — no weekly plan that quietly compounds to hundreds of dollars, no overlapping tiers to decode on a paywall.
- Honest value estimates. Most stamps are genuinely worth very little — and Stampo says so. Values are shown as condition-tiered ranges, the same expectation-setting approach as our published stamp value guides, which cite real catalog and auction sources.
- Full identification, not just a name. Country, year, denomination and catalog number from one photo, plus a collection catalog to keep what you scan.
- The honest trade-off: Stampo launched in June 2026, so it has no public rating history yet. If a long track record matters most to you today, Stamp ID Pro's 303 ratings are a real signal — try Stampo free and judge the results yourself.
Which should you choose?
Choose Stamp ID Pro if you collect United States issues specifically and you want a deterministic identification wizard rather than an AI guess — it is the one genuinely specialist tool in this comparison, and $9.99 buys it outright.
Choose Stampo if you want the lowest annual price in this category ($14.99/year), value estimates that level with you about what stamps are really worth, and a catalog-style breakdown (country, year, denomination, catalog number) from every scan.
