About Steam Dashboard

What this site is

Steam Dashboard compares CS2 skin prices across 36 marketplaces. The catalog shows purchase costs including buyer fees and sale proceeds after the venue's commission, alongside regional availability, payment methods and the time each offer was recorded.

The current snapshot prices more than 17,000 of the catalog's 19,000+ items. The catalog itself renders in 28 languages using Valve's own localization files, and the markets directory documents 36 venues with verified fees, KYC rules and payout facts.

The site also has a Deadlock section and free Steam tools for checking service status, player counts, account IDs, library value and sale dates. When a source has no data, the tool shows that it is unavailable.

How we work

We compare CS2 prices using direct listings from Lis Skins, Skin.Land, Skinport, CS.TRADE, CSFloat, and Skinout, alongside data from our licensed provider csmarketcap. Offers keep their original update times and are ranked by price. Our methodology explains the sources and limits.

Figures come from verifiable sources and include their recording times. Pages identify missing data. The following documents explain how we work:

• How we price CS2 skins — data sources, fee formulas, FX, coverage and limitations
• How we rate marketplaces — the dossier rubric and what disqualifies a venue
• How we make money — monetization disclosure, written before any of it exists
• Editorial policy — sourcing, corrections and AI-assistance disclosure

History

• Since 2011. The team behind the site had been building and running Steam and CS item tools — price tracking, inventory analysis and game-file research — for years, available by invitation to a limited community rather than published on the open web.
• Early 2026. We take the project public, rebuilding the private tooling into an open set of Steam status and analytics tools.
• April 2026. First archived CS2 price snapshots; the snapshot history has been retained since.
• June 2026. The CS2 catalog is rebuilt data-first, and a site-wide integrity audit removes everything that cannot be verified — the audit that became our editorial policy.
• July 2026. Fee-aware buy and sell comparison ships with region fit and payment-rail filters, and the methodology behind it is published.

Who runs it

The Steam Dashboard team has built and maintained tools for Steam and CS items since 2011. We collect prices, preserve snapshots and sync the catalog; check marketplace fees and documentation; and maintain translations. English and Russian are written for their readers, while the other 26 catalog languages use terminology from Valve files.

We publish no individual bios yet — when we do, they will be real people with verifiable track records, per our editorial policy.

Independence

Steam Dashboard is an independent project. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Valve Corporation. We operate no marketplace and are independent of every venue we compare.
