Watchlists keep intent clear
Users can favorite or watch items they want to revisit. This keeps alert logic tied to explicit user choices.
- Favorites for later review
- Watched items for price movement
- User-controlled thresholds
Use case
CS2 price alerts and watchlists for Steam items
Price alerts are useful when they reduce manual checking. SteamHelper keeps alerts optional and tied to items the user has chosen to watch.
Alerts should be simple
A good price alert tells the user what changed and lets them decide what to do next. It should not pretend that price movement guarantees a good trade.
- One-shot alert model
- Clear item context
- No profit guarantee
Works with broader item context
Alerts are more useful when combined with inventory value, market comparison and float context because the user can understand why an item matters.
- Inventory and market context
- CS2 price labels
- Trade review helpers
CS2 price alerts FAQ
How do I set a price alert for a CS2 item?
Star the item on Steam to add it to your favorites, then open Favorites in the SteamHelper app and set a "drops below" or "goes above" target price. When the price crosses it, you get a browser notification.
Do CS2 price alerts need a SteamHelper sign-in?
Yes. Alerts are saved to your account so they keep working after a browser restart. Sign-in uses Steam's official login page, and SteamHelper never sees your password.
Do price alerts buy or sell items automatically?
No. An alert only notifies you. What you do next — buy, sell or wait — is your own decision on Steam.
Can I get CS2 price alerts on Discord or Telegram?
Yes. Besides the browser notification, you can connect Discord or Telegram in the SteamHelper app's account settings to receive the same alerts there.
