Chinese Version: 🌙 停服公告

Steam Trading Site Tracker (https://iflow.work/) stopped being maintained on May 20, 2026.

Thank you to all users and collaborators for your support over the past five years.

Looking Back

In 2022, there was still no mature way to buy games with Steam Wallet balance at a meaningful discount. Gift cards could be roughly 30% off, but delivery times were unpredictable; P2P gift trading carried higher risk and usually offered limited discounts. Steam item listing arbitrage was faster and more controllable, but the useful information expired quickly. Most players still relied on forum posts or daily price digests, which made the process cumbersome and often left the final discount below expectations.

In February 2022, Steam Trading Site Tracker was released on Keylol as the first public website to provide real-time, multi-platform comparison of Steam item listing opportunities. Through long-term engineering and algorithmic optimization, we achieved minute-level ratio updates for more than 60,000 items across six platforms under a limited budget, serving a large number of Steam players. For example, on June 8, 2024, the day pre-orders opened for Black Myth: Wukong, the site recorded 248,000 page views and 25,000 unique visitors. We also supported data analysis and other applications in the Steam Market ecosystem through data APIs, ID mapping tables, and related resources.

Over the past five years, we were glad to see features such as “listing ratio calculation” and “item listing recommendations” gradually adopted by trading platforms such as BUFF and by third-party data platforms, making market information more diverse and transparent for players. However, after Valve added a 7-day trading cooldown to CS2 and Dota 2 items in 2024 and 2025, sellers had to bear price fluctuation risk for a longer period, and the site's original advantage became much less significant.

The mission of Steam Trading Site Tracker has been fulfilled. Due to limited personal time and energy, I decided to stop maintaining this project and its related services in May 2026. If you have any questions, feel free to contact [email protected].

Games have given me a great deal of comfort over the past few years. I hope they continue to bring joy to everyone in the days ahead.

Data and Archives

Over the past five years, we stored a large amount of historical Level 2 price data for CS:GO / CS2 and Dota 2 items across multiple trading platforms through database snapshots. Although real-time data is no longer available, the archived data will remain available for research purposes. Please refer to 📦 Archive Data API for details.

To quote a friend's email:

Your collection (especially with the archives) is by far the most complete I've found for these Chinese/third-party platforms combined with Steam—nothing else comes close.
