Put in your own numbers. The discount starts at the typical saving measured on real catches.
Start on Spectator — it is free for ever, there is no card, and it never expires. You get the Tape: every snipe the fleet lands, five minutes after it happened, so you can see what "first" actually looks like on these markets. You get every scanning tool — price and discount rules, alerts, paint-seed and float filters, Filter Sniping across whole searches, Newest-listings priority, arbitrage across all 10 marketplaces — and the alert links you to the listing so you buy it yourself. Its edges are deliberate: one armed filter, the Chill pace, 60-minute runs and a shared pool of 2,000 requests a cycle. That is a proper look around, not a night of sniping — and nothing on Spectator ever moves your money.
A Sniper pass is the product. It buys for you: hands-off Auto-Buy on CSFloat, Steam, Tradeit.gg, DMarket, LIS-Skins, BUFF Market and Skinport; the Tape live; as many armed filters as you like; Turbo, the fastest pace each marketplace tolerates; 300-minute runs; standing buy orders with seeds, tier lists and float brackets; and requests that are counted but never capped. It is paid once — $7 for 7 days, $19 for 30 days, $45 for 90 days — and passes add up: buy 30 days with 12 left and you have 42. Every new account starts with 24 hours of it.
The Desk add-on is for people running a book, not a hunt. On top of an active Sniper pass it adds the trading desk: the auto-update raiser that keeps your standing orders first in line while you sleep, Smart Order Focus for contested orders, Smart Bulk Listing and repricing — the sell side — and 720-minute runs. It is priced as the increment: +$12, +$29 or +$69 for the same lengths, and it can never outlive the Sniper pass it sits on. No Sniper pass yet? Checkout adds one of the same length in the same payment — and if yours ends before the Desk would, it adds only the missing days, priced at the pass's day rate ($0.64 a day on a 30-day pass) and never a whole second pass.
The engine paces itself on purpose — that pacing is what keeps a marketplace treating your account as a person rather than a scraper, and it is the single biggest factor in softban risk. CSWatcher ships three preset paces and nothing else, each set from what its marketplace documents as safe.
Spectator runs at Chill. Every pass runs at Turbo. A faster pace means the same watchlist comes round again sooner, which is exactly the margin a good listing is won or lost by — and a pass has no request budget to spend faster, so nothing holds Turbo back. Turbo is each market's fastest safe pace, not its floor: CSWatcher will not go below what a marketplace tolerates, on any plan, at any price.
One thing does not change with the plan: where the money moves. CSFloat, Steam, Tradeit.gg, DMarket, LIS-Skins, BUFF Market and Skinport are the marketplaces CSWatcher can buy on — CSFloat with the key, the rest through your own logged-in session on that site. The other three are read-only, alert-only lanes, so no plan can ever spend a cent on them.
A request is one call to one marketplace. Spectator gets 2,000 of them a cycle, in total, and that is the only request limit anywhere in CSWatcher: the moment a Sniper pass lands there is no bucket to run dry on any marketplace, so switching another marketplace on costs you nothing on the ones you already watch, and you are never choosing between coverage and depth.
A pass has no request cap. Every request is still counted — you can see where the engine spends its time on your account page, and the count is what tells us when a key is being shared — but no pass is ever refused a request on any marketplace. Spectator is the exception: one pool of 2,000 requests a cycle, shared by every marketplace you switch on, renewing on the anniversary of the day you signed up. That is enough to watch the Tape, run a filter and see the alerts land — a proper look around, not a night of sniping.
Spectator's pool is deliberately shared. Its 2,000 requests are a single pool spent by whichever marketplaces you enable, so switching more of them on does not give you more requests — it spreads the same 2,000 thinner. Otherwise a free account would multiply itself by however many marketplaces we add. A pass has no pool to spread.
The longer pass is the better rate, and the arithmetic is on the card: 30 days of Sniper at $19 is $0.63 a day, 90 days at $45 is $0.50 a day, and a 7-day pass at $7 is the way to try a week of it for exactly a dollar a day. Nothing renews on its own, and passes add up — so the only decision is how long you want the engine buying for you.
There is nothing to cancel. A pass is paid once and runs for its days; when it ends, nothing is charged and your account goes back to Spectator with every filter, order and setting still in place — buy another pass whenever you want it buying for you again. Buying while a pass is still running adds the days to the end: 30 days bought with 12 left is 42. Desk works the same way on its own clock, and can never run past the Sniper pass under it. Your account page shows the day each pass ends. Refund terms are on the refund policy page — worth reading before your first payment rather than after.
Yes. Spectator is free for ever — no card, no clock — with every scanning tool on all 10 marketplaces and alerts that link you to the listing.
What it does not do is buy: Auto-Buy and standing buy orders come with a Sniper pass.
Nothing to watch. A Sniper pass is $7 for 7 days, $19 for 30 days or $45 for 90 days, paid once.
The Desk add-on is +$12, +$29 or +$69 for the same lengths on top of a Sniper pass — $19, $48 or $114 for both together.
No. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. A pass ends on its own; passes bought while one is running add their days to the end.
A fixed number of days during which CSWatcher buys for you: hands-off Auto-Buy on seven marketplaces, unlimited armed filters, Turbo pace, 300-minute runs, standing CSFloat buy orders and unlimited requests.
It adds the trading desk to a Sniper pass: the buy-order auto-update raiser, Smart Order Focus, Smart Bulk Listing and repricing, and 720-minute runs. It never outlives the Sniper pass it sits on; bought alone, checkout adds a Sniper pass of the same length, and if your Sniper pass ends before the Desk would, only the missing Sniper days are added at the pass's day rate.
Yes. Every new account starts with 24 hours of Sniper at email confirmation — no card, nothing to claim — and Spectator stays free for ever after that.
A friend's first pass through your referral link gives you 7 free days of it.
CSFloat, Steam, Tradeit.gg, DMarket, LIS-Skins, BUFF Market and Skinport. The other three — CSBoard, BUFF163 and Skins.com — are alert-only: you get the link and buy it yourself.
Auto-Buy spends real money. It is protected by multiple safety layers — layered spending limits (default $10 so you can test with small buys first), a typed ARM confirmation, automatic safeguards, and automatic refusal of listings that look wrong. You can still cancel any purchase directly on CSFloat (which charges its own 4% cancellation fee). You alone are responsible for the rules you set and any purchase they make — CSWatcher does not refund CSFloat fees or purchases. This applies to CSFloat; on the alert-only marketplaces (CSBoard, BUFF163 and Skins.com) CSWatcher never buys, so there is no purchase of its making to cancel.
Built to reduce softban risk: the default pace is deliberately conservative, to minimise the chance of a softban — though no cadence can guarantee it. Speed is preset: Chill on Spectator, Turbo on every pass. There is no free-text seconds box, and no plan can go below what a marketplace tolerates. Each of the nine marketplaces beyond CSFloat has its own conservative pacing, and a lane that is refused backs off on its own rather than pushing.
