CSGOSkins.gg
29-marketplace price aggregator with a built-in pattern database.

Portfolio Trackers
SteamLedger
Free CS2 portfolio tracker with auto Steam-inventory sync.
Portfolio Trackers
SkinFolio
Truly free CS2 portfolio tracker — no premium tier.
Both are free hosted portfolio trackers with Steam OpenID auto-sync. SteamLedger is more polished and active; SkinFolio is the indie alternative with a no-upsell commitment. They're close enough that the right pick comes down to UX preference.

Dispattern
Multi-family pattern database — Doppler, Marble Fade, Crimson Web, more.
CSBlueGem is the deepest single-source database for Case Hardened blue gems and tier rankings. Dispattern covers more pattern families (Doppler, Marble Fade, Crimson Web, etc.) but with shallower per-family depth. Pick by what you're hunting.

CSFloat
Float-aware marketplace plus a public inspect API.
Marketplaces
Skinport
EU-based marketplace with a clean public API.
Both are top-tier CS2 marketplaces, but they answer different questions. CSFloat optimises for float-conscious P2P trades at the lowest published seller fee in the market. Skinport optimises for EU sellers who want clean SEPA cash-out at scale. The right pick is mostly about where you live and what you're selling.

Buff163
Largest CS2 marketplace by volume — Chinese, but trade-friendly.
Buff163 is the global volume leader for CS2 — its prices set the floor most third-party tools reference. CSFloat is the largest English-speaking P2P marketplace with the lowest published seller fee. The choice depends on whether you can stomach Buff's region and UI friction for the access to volume.

CS.Money
Skin-for-skin swap marketplace — upgrade or downgrade without leaving Steam.
Marketplaces
SkinSwap
Instant-trade marketplace — sell skins for site balance, cash, or crypto.
Both let you exit a skin position fast — CS.Money via skin-for-skin swaps with their inventory, SkinSwap via instant cash quotes paid to site balance. They overlap on speed but diverge on what "speed" means: a new skin in your inventory, or a balance you can withdraw to crypto.

DMarket
Marketplace with public read API and HMAC-authed write API.
Marketplaces
Skinport
EU-based marketplace with a clean public API.
DMarket and Skinport both sit in the second tier of CS2 marketplaces — neither has Buff's volume or CSFloat's English-speaking brand presence. But they specialise differently: DMarket for developers and automated trading, Skinport for everyday EU sellers. They're not really competing for the same user.

Pricempire
Multi-marketplace prices with a real public API and editorial indexes.
Indexes & Analytics
cs2.sh
OHLC candlestick charts for CS2 items.
Pricempire and cs2.sh both expose CS2 price data, but they answer different questions. Pricempire shows current cross-marketplace prices and your portfolio's value across 7+ sources. cs2.sh shows the historical price chart of a single item — open, high, low, close — like a stock chart. They're complements more than competitors.

CSFloat
Float-aware marketplace plus a public inspect API.

DMarket
Marketplace with public read API and HMAC-authed write API.
CSFloat is the largest float-conscious P2P CS2 marketplace; DMarket is a smaller marketplace with the most complete public API in the space. The real question isn't which is better — it's whether you're a trader who wants to sell skins, or a builder who wants to read and write listings programmatically.

CS.Money
Skin-for-skin swap marketplace — upgrade or downgrade without leaving Steam.
CSFloat is a P2P marketplace — you list, a buyer takes, you get paid in cash. CS.Money is a swap-style trader — you give them skins, they give you skins (or balance). Both end with you in a different position than you started, but the path and the outputs are very different.

Buff163
Largest CS2 marketplace by volume — Chinese, but trade-friendly.

Skinport
EU-based marketplace with a clean public API.
Buff163 is the global volume leader for CS2 — its prices are what most price aggregators reference as the world reference. Skinport is the EU-focused alternative with a polished interface and weekly SEPA payouts. The pick comes down to whether you can stomach Buff's region friction for the access to liquidity.

DMarket
Marketplace with public read API and HMAC-authed write API.
Buff163 has the deepest CS2 liquidity in the world but lives behind a Chinese-only UI and CN-region payment rails. DMarket is smaller but ships the most complete public + HMAC-authed API in the space. They're not really competing for the same user — one optimises for traders chasing the best price, the other for builders automating listings.

Buff163
Largest CS2 marketplace by volume — Chinese, but trade-friendly.
CSGOSkins.gg aggregates prices across 29+ marketplaces and points you to the cheapest listing for an item. Buff163 is one of those listed marketplaces — usually the world reference and often the cheapest. Asking "which one to use" is mostly a question of whether you want to shop one source or all of them.

SkinFolio
Truly free CS2 portfolio tracker — no premium tier.
Indexes & Analytics
Pricempire
Multi-marketplace prices with a real public API and editorial indexes.
Both let you track your CS2 inventory's value, but they're built for different audiences. SkinFolio is a minimal, always-free portfolio tracker that gets the job done. Pricempire is the canonical data layer for the entire CS2 tooling ecosystem — its API powers third-party trackers — and bundles a portfolio view on top.

CS.Money
Skin-for-skin swap marketplace — upgrade or downgrade without leaving Steam.

Skinport
EU-based marketplace with a clean public API.
CS.Money is a swap-style trader — you give them skins, they give you skins or site balance, instantly. Skinport is a traditional P2P marketplace — list, wait for a buyer, get cash. Both end with you in a different inventory position, but the speed, take-home rate, and what you receive are very different.

Pricempire

CS2 Sticker Tracker is purpose-built for one job — pricing applied-sticker premium and tracking capsule ROI. Pricempire is the all-market data layer that prices everything (cases, skins, knives, stickers) across 7+ marketplaces. If you only care about stickers, the specialist beats the generalist. For everything else, the generalist wins.

CSFloat
Float-aware marketplace plus a public inspect API.

Skinport
EU-based marketplace with a clean public API.
These are the three CS2 marketplaces most serious traders end up using together. CSFloat for English-speaking float-conscious P2P trades, Skinport for clean EU cash-out, Buff163 for the deepest global liquidity. Picking one means picking your trade-off — most people end up rotating between two of the three depending on what they're selling.

Truly free CS2 portfolio tracker — no premium tier.
All three track your CS2 inventory value, but they're aimed at different users. SteamLedger is the polished default for most people. SkinFolio is the no-upsell indie alternative.

Skin-for-skin swap marketplace — upgrade or downgrade without leaving Steam.
Three very different paths to "I don't want this skin anymore". CSFloat is a P2P marketplace — list, wait, get cash. CS.Money swaps skin-for-skin instantly from their inventory. SkinSwap gives you site balance instantly that you withdraw to crypto or fiat. Different workflows, different take-home rates, different speeds.

CS2 case supply data and price indexes — the "stocks" view.
Three tools, three angles on the CS2 case market. CSROI tells you the expected return of opening a case right now. CSStonks tells you which cases are gaining or losing supply over time. Pricempire ties cases into the broader market with cross-marketplace pricing + an API. Each answers a different question — serious case investors use all three.

Dispattern
Multi-family pattern database — Doppler, Marble Fade, Crimson Web, more.
Three depth-vs-breadth angles on CS2 pattern hunting. CSBlueGem is the canonical authority on Case Hardened blue gems. Dispattern covers more pattern families (Doppler phases, Marble Fade FFI, Crimson Web tiers).

Buff163
Largest CS2 marketplace by volume — Chinese, but trade-friendly.
DMarket, Buff163, and Skinport solve the same problem — let you trade CS2 skins — through three completely different lenses. DMarket leads on API + multi-game support. Buff163 has the world's deepest liquidity but lives behind a CN region wall. Skinport is the EU sellers' default with clean SEPA payouts. Which one wins comes down to where you live, what you trade, and whether you build automation.

Instant-trade marketplace — sell skins for site balance, cash, or crypto.
Three completely different routes to 'I want out of this skin'. CSFloat is the lowest-fee P2P marketplace — you wait for a buyer, you get cash. SkinSwap quotes an instant sell price upfront and pays site balance. CS.Money swaps your skin for another from their inventory, no waiting. Each trades off speed, take-home rate, and what you receive at the end.

CSGOSkins.gg
29-marketplace price aggregator with a built-in pattern database.
Both surface paint-pattern data, but at very different depths. CSBlueGem is the canonical authority on Case Hardened blue gems — tier rankings, percentage scores, live listings filtered by seed. CSGOSkins.gg ships a built-in pattern database alongside its 29-marketplace price aggregator — broader, shallower. If you're hunting a specific blue gem, the specialist is non-negotiable. For everything else, the aggregator's breadth wins.
