Methodology
Premiums are computed wear-for-wear: a StatTrak Field-Tested price is only ever compared against the normal Field-Tested price of the same skin, then averaged across every wear where both quotes exist. Prices are the lowest listing across 14+ marketplaces, aggregated via PriceEmpire and refreshed hourly. Doppler-style phase variants are excluded to avoid double counting.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much more expensive are StatTrak skins in CS2?
- Across 681 skins with both price tables tracked, the average StatTrak premium is 63% over the normal version at the same wear. The spread is wide: from -82% up to 595%.
- Why do StatTrak skins cost more?
- StatTrak variants drop roughly 10x less often than normal versions from cases, so supply is structurally lower. Demand adds to it: the kill counter is a visible flex, and popular rifles (AK-47, M4, AWP) see the strongest StatTrak demand. Skins from rare or discontinued cases carry the largest premiums.
- Is StatTrak worth the extra money?
- Purely cosmetic — the counter tracks kills but changes no gameplay. As a value play, low-premium StatTrak skins (close to normal price) are the better buy since you get the counter nearly free. High-premium StatTrak skins hold value mainly as collector items with thinner liquidity.
