CSFloat vs CS.Money: P2P marketplace or swap-style trader?

It’s a tie on pure feature count (2/6 each). The verdict below captures who wins for which workflow.

Verdict

CSFloat for the lowest-fee path to actual cash in your bank. CS.Money when you want to swap skin-for-skin without dealing with Steam Market trade holds, or when you specifically want a different skin rather than money. They're complementary in a serious trader's toolkit.
