Methodology. Measured figures come from a continuous 24-hour benchmark (2026-07-30 21:00 UTC → 2026-07-31 21:00 UTC) polling each provider's API on 5-minute cycles. Freshness is the median age of the provider's own embedded price timestamps. Marketplace counts include only marketplaces returning a non-zero price: a price: 0 placeholder is not a price. Pricempire was measured on its free tier, the only tier we held a key for. CSGOSkins.gg was not benchmarked; its column shows published specifications only. Advertised figures cite each provider's public pages as of the date shown. Read the full methodology.
