User Reviews

Users praise CatalogIt for its easy, intuitive UI and strong photo-based cataloging, useful for museums and on-the-go work. However, it’s marred by pricing opacity, restrictive item limits, reliability issues, and export/import limitations. The core strengths are usability and media features, while the main drawbacks are unclear pricing, capacity constraints, and occasional instability.
Pros
  • Easy to use and intuitive interface across devices
  • Strong photo support with multiple pictures per item and captions/descriptions
  • Great for cataloging collections, including professional and museum use
  • Portable across phone and laptop for on-site meetings and fieldwork
  • Free starter tier to try before subscribing
Cons
  • Pricing transparency issues and gatekeeping with subscriptions and high recurring fees
  • Low or unclear item and storage limits that trigger paid plans (examples include 50/100 items free and 2500 item cap on paid tier)
  • Reliability and stability problems such as bugs that prevent adding entries and occasional freezes/crashes
  • Import/export limitations including nonDIY data imports and exports that may omit photos

I bought the $149 sub... now there is no button to add any entries!!! I would like a refund or be able to add entries... Was REALLY liking this app but not if I'm paying to not add anything...

Deceptive pricing. This is shown as a free app, but after several days of use (or 50 items), I got an email stating if I don’t pay a subscription my data will be locked! The subscription is $15 a months or $150 a year! Max items to list is limited to 2500 item (with paid subscription). That seems very limiting just for my home collection. You are also limited to 50GB. You can export to Excel, so that’s positive. Thumbs down for not being open and honest about pricing.

Makes no mention of a limit when I'm spending hours uploading, but weeks later emails me that I've uploaded over the limit, and now I have to pay a subscription fee that starts at $15
