Stash vs CLZ Comics

The modern CLZ Comics alternative.

CLZ built a great desktop catalog in 2002. Stash is the version built for 2026. Scan-first, AI-priced, and the only platform that publishes to all 12 comic marketplaces.

About CLZ Comics: CLZ Comics is a long-standing desktop and companion-app catalog. Strong cataloging, no marketplace publishing, no AI grading.

Quick answer

Stash Management is the best CLZ Comics alternative because it adds three things CLZ doesn't: direct marketplace publishing (12 platforms), AI-powered slab and press analysis, and a mobile-first scan workflow that catalogs a book in seconds rather than minutes.

Why people switch

What you get on the other side.

01

Marketplace publishing, not just cataloging

CLZ shows you what you own. Stash sells it for you, with direct API integration on eBay and CSV import for 8 more platforms.

02

AI that knows what your books are worth

Live market values, slab ROI math, and press/clean recommendations, none of which CLZ provides.

03

Built for a phone, not a desktop

Stash's iOS scanner identifies a cover in 3 seconds. CLZ's catalog flow still assumes you're sitting at a keyboard.

FAQ

Common questions about switching.

What's the best CLZ Comics alternative?+

Stash Management. It adds three things CLZ doesn't, direct marketplace publishing (12 platforms), AI-powered slab and press analysis, and a mobile-first scan workflow, while preserving the catalog-quality data CLZ users expect.

Can I import my CLZ data into Stash?+

Yes. Export your CLZ collection as CSV, then import it through Settings → Import. Stash auto-maps the standard CLZ columns and re-prices every book with live market data.

Is Stash more expensive than CLZ?+

Stash starts free for 500 comics. The Collector tier is $5/month, comparable to CLZ's annual fee spread out. And includes live market valuations CLZ doesn't offer at any price. If you also sell, the Seller tier ($19/month) adds direct marketplace publishing.

Will I lose my cover images when migrating?+

No. CSV import preserves cover image references. Books without covers are re-scanned automatically the next time you open them in the iOS app.
