What it does
Sign in with Steam and the desk reads your inventory and prices every skin in it.

Not the name average: your copy, on its own float, pattern, stickers and Doppler phase, because two identical names can be worth very different money. The desk compares supported markets after configured selling fees; public directories also show gross asking prices, labelled separately from estimated net proceeds.
On top of that it checks whether a proposed trade is fair, runs trade-up contracts with Valve's real odds and float maths, watches prices and tells you when one crosses your number, and keeps a market index so you can see whether it is your skin moving or the whole market.
Storage units hold what the inventory read can't show. Steam never lists a unit's contents outside the game, so cases, capsules and packages bought by the hundred were invisible to every tracker that only reads Steam. Add a unit under the name it has in game, then search items in or drop a spreadsheet, with what you paid if you know it. The desk values every copy after fees, shows the change over 7 and 30 days, and rings a price alert when a position reaches your number. Free, with no limit on units or items.

Storage units with cost basis are free and unlimited. The desk holds daily Steam sold history back to August 2013 for the liquid basket and a daily count of copies listed per name. Every value is net of the market's fee, with Steam wallet funds discounted to cash. Nothing here ranks by predicted return, and nothing here is investment advice: the numbers are dated, the rules behind every list are printed, and the reading is yours.
What it costs
Most of it's free, and that includes your whole inventory valued across supported markets, net of fees: trade-locked items, per-copy floats, the trade offers waiting on you, 25 trade checks a day, 5 analyst questions a day, unlimited price watches, storage units with no limit on items, and a CSV of the lot.

Free accounts can browse, offer and post on the trade board. Price alerts are available in the app and by email after you verify an email address and enable alert notifications.
Pro adds unlimited trade checks and analyst questions and the whole Flip Finder board. It's $9 a month, $21 for three months, or $60 for the year, which works out at $5 a month. Billed in USD, cancel whenever you like.
Where the numbers come from
Marketplace listings and sales data, including direct Skinport and CSFloat integrations, alongside reference feeds such as CSGOTrader.

Coverage and quote freshness vary by skin and venue. Per-copy values are estimates based on the available market and inspect data. Our pricing methodology explains the sources, fees, freshness checks and limits behind each comparison.
Fees are applied per market from a published fee table, so a "net" figure is what lands in your account rather than the sticker price. Steam is a special case and the desk treats it as one: it pays in wallet credit, which is worth less than money, so its number is discounted rather than presented as the best offer just because it is the biggest. That single decision is why the desk's "best" often disagrees with other trackers.
Sold counts come from real sales, not listing counts, which is how the desk can tell you how quickly a skin actually moves rather than how many people are asking.
What it will not do
It will not ask for your Steam API key or your password.

It will not tell you a skin is a good investment. It does not take a cut of any trade, hold your items, or act as a market. It is a reading of the market, not a participant in it. Prices are indicative: the only real price is the one somebody pays.
Who runs it
PatinaAI is run by Albu Adrian, a private individual in Romania.

He's the operator, and he's also who sells Pro, so when you pay for Pro you're paying him, not a company. There's no company behind it. The formal version is in the legal notice.
A small independent project, not affiliated with Valve Corporation or with any of the markets it prices. Counter-Strike and CS2 are trademarks of Valve. Anything wrong on the site is worth telling us about, and gets fixed: [email protected].
