What Stampy does well
- Localized into 33 languages — the only rival here that matches Stampo's own language coverage.
- Well rated (4.6 stars) and recently updated, though from a small base of 73 ratings.
- Offers a one-time Lifetime purchase, which Stampo does not.
What to weigh before subscribing
- Its IAP list showed several overlapping plans ($19.99 and $29.99 both appearing for a year) — verify the exact offer on the paywall.
- The $79.99 lifetime plan is the most expensive single purchase in this comparison.
- 73 ratings is a thin evidence base compared with the 2,000+ of PhilSnap or Stamp Value Stamp Identifier.
- Needs iOS 16.1, the highest OS floor of any app 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, Stampy's 73 ratings are a real signal — try Stampo free and judge the results yourself.
Which should you choose?
Choose Stampy if you want a one-time lifetime purchase and you'd rather not hold a subscription at all — Stampo is annual-only, and Stampy is the one app here offering both broad localization and a buy-once option.
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.
