The cheapest card rip apps, ranked by entry pack price

The cheapest card rip app right now is PrizePicks Packs, with a $1 Basic pack in basketball, football and Pokémon. Next come Underdog Rips and OG.com Rips at $5, Fanatics Instant Rips at $10 and Courtyard at $15; most other specialist apps start at $25.

Cheap packs are the right way to try an app, but the price on the pack is not what's inside it. Below are the lowest prices we could confirm on each major app as of November 12, 2026, what those packs can return, and which cheap option is actually the best value.

Lowest pack price on each app

Prices come from each app's published tiers and from recent reviews (sources below). Apps change tiers often, so check the pack screen before you buy.

What a $1 to $5 pack usually returns

This is the part most "cheap packs" lists skip. PrizePicks says a typical $1 pack has a card-value range of $0.30 to $20. RotoWire lists Underdog's $5 Starter pack with a $1 minimum and a $150 maximum pull. A November review of OG.com showed its football Rookie pack with a $1 minimum and a $100 maximum.

Read those ranges the right way: the maximum is the rare top of the range, and the minimum is much closer to what you'll see most of the time. Most pulls on every app are worth less than the pack price. A cheap pack keeps the cost of learning low; it doesn't change the math.

Our pick for each budget

Under $5: PrizePicks Packs

Nothing else we track starts at $1, and its buyback pays 100% of the value it shows you at the reveal. It also covers Pokémon, which Underdog doesn't. If Pokémon is your main interest, see our full best Pokémon rip apps list.

$5: Underdog Rips

Underdog's Starter pack costs more than PrizePicks' cheapest tier, but it gives you 3 days to decide and a Card Stash to hold cards. New users can also start without paying for a pack: the welcome offer gives 5 free Rips packs after a $5 DFS entry (a $10 deposit is required), advertised as worth up to $750, which is a ceiling, not an average.

$5 with Pokémon and baseball: OG.com Rips

OG's Rookie tier is the cheapest way to rip baseball cards on a major app, and it adds Pokémon too. Note that OG's buyback value is set by its partner and the review we used warns it shouldn't be read as fair market value.

$10 to $15: Fanatics Instant Rips or Courtyard

Both are fine for collectors who want to keep cards. Fanatics pays sell-backs in Fanatics Live credit rather than cash, and Courtyard's 90% buyback is below the 100% that PrizePicks and Underdog advertise.

How to keep cheap rips cheap

• Set a total budget first, not a per-pack one. Ten $1 packs is $10.
• Compare the buyback, not the pack price. A 100% buyback on a $5 pack can lose you less than a 90% buyback on a $1 pack, depending on the card.
• Skip shipping on low-value pulls. Shipping fees can be more than the card is worth; selling back avoids that.
• Watch the clock. Most apps auto-sell or expire your options after a set window.
