Frequently asked questions

What is SteamHelper?

SteamHelper is an independent browser extension that adds a price and value layer to Steam Community pages. It helps everyday players see what their inventory is worth, compare Steam Market prices with external CS2 marketplaces, check floats and review trade offers before accepting — without a Steam password and without cluttering Steam. It is free on the Chrome Web Store and Mozilla Add-ons.

What does SteamHelper do on each Steam page?

On your inventory and profile, SteamHelper shows the total value, price badges and floats. On the Steam Community Market it adds external marketplace prices and per-wear comparison. On trade offers it totals what you give and receive, and in the inventory item panel it adds Instant Sell and Quick Sell.

Which games does SteamHelper support?

SteamHelper supports CS2, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, Rust, PUBG, s&box and PAYDAY 2 inventories, with Unturned next. CS2 has the deepest support, with floats, per-wear market comparison, Doppler phase labels and trade-lock countdowns.

Do I need to sign in to use SteamHelper?

No. The inventory, market and trade helpers work with the Steam session already in your browser. Signing in with Steam is optional and only needed to sync favorites and price alerts.

How accurate are SteamHelper's prices?

They are estimates based on recent Steam Market and external marketplace data, so they can lag behind the live order book, especially for rare items. Source labels and priced-item counts show what an estimate is based on.

Can I use SteamHelper together with Steam Inventory Helper or CS2 Trader?

Yes, but two inventory or market extensions on the same page duplicate prices and buttons. SteamHelper detects Steam Inventory Helper and CS2 Trader and shows a notice so you can decide which one to keep active.

Does SteamHelper work when Steam is set to another language?

Yes. SteamHelper reads item data from Steam itself, so its helpers work on non-English Steam pages, and its labels follow the Steam page language where a translation is available.

Does SteamHelper work on mobile or in the Steam desktop app?

No. SteamHelper is a desktop browser extension. It does not run in the Steam desktop client or the Steam mobile app — open Steam Community in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera or Firefox instead.

How do I report a bug or suggest a SteamHelper feature?

Use the feedback page on steamhelper.app or join the SteamHelper Discord. Reports that include the Steam page URL and your browser are the quickest to fix.
