is there such a thing as a pitch guage that will be useable on both a trex450 and a raptor 50?

Dont spend more flying models than it costs to fly for real -
I've yet to find one.
I use 2, already had a big one so I just bought an Align one when I got the Rexes, it's not expensive enough to worry about the cost.
Actually to be honest, these days I rarely use one just set up by sight and earPhil

By ear?just set up by sight and ear
As in, put the end of the blade in your ear and feel how far it turns when applying pitch?

i fold the blades back. when they are level with each other that gives you zero pitch. BobJ showed me this, after some testing its actually more accurate than any pitch gauge i have ever used as you can feel for the slop and allow for it.
everything else is done by feel.
tada... one universal and more importantly FREE pitch gauge!

I do as Ade say with both blades swept back to check were my 0 stick is. the pitch gauge I have I use in both my Raptor and my P-rex, it is this one.
I believe it is made by mirahamm, I could not find anyone selling them on the net, I got it from my LHS, I find it an excellent pitch gauge with a weighted pointer on bearings.Raptor 50 V3 Titan
