How Skinory makes money

Skinory is free for everyone. This page explains how the site earns money and what money cannot buy on it.

Updated November 11, 2026 Methodology

Affiliate links to marketplaces

Some marketplaces pay Skinory a commission when a visitor signs up or trades after following our link. Such links go through a /go/… redirect on our site and are marked rel="sponsored". The price on the marketplace stays the same for you.

The first time you open an item on such a marketplace, it may show its sign-up or invite page instead of the item. The site remembers that visit in a cookie for one year, so later links open the item directly.

Paid placements

One section of the site lists third-party case-opening sites for adults (18+), and those listings are paid. The section is labelled as paid placements and is hidden in some countries.

What is not for sale

  • The order of marketplace rows: they are sorted by price or by the order you choose, never by partnership.
  • The best price badge: it marks the lowest price we see.
  • Marketplace ratings: partnerships do not change them.
  • The Skinory CS2 Index and the methodology behind our numbers.
  • Guides and answers: partners do not order, review or edit them.

No ads, subscriptions or data sales

  • No ad networks or banner ads.
  • No paid subscriptions: every feature is free, and API keys cost nothing.
  • We do not sell user data.
