What a digital repack site is
On sites like PrizePicks Packs, Trove, Packz or Tilt Rips, the platform owns the cards, vaults them, posts its pack contents and offers to buy the card back. You rip instantly, with no streamer.
That's what our leaderboard compares: one operator, one set of published terms.
What a live break app is
On a live break app, independent sellers stream breaks, repacks and auctions, then ship the cards themselves. The app sets marketplace rules, but there are no house odds and no platform buyback.
Single breaking shops work the same way: one seller, live product, and the card you're assigned is yours to keep.
How to judge a live break
With live breaks, the seller matters more than the app. Read recent reviews, ask for the full checklist and allocation method before the break, and keep a record of what you bought.
The card you're assigned is the card you keep, so treat every spot as entertainment spend.
