Our take
On paper the headline fees match. Both charge sellers 2% on a normal CS2 sale and charge buyers nothing. The details decide which one keeps more of your money.
Seller fees in practice. CSFloat's 2% is flat for every CS2 sale. DMarket's 2% applies to most CS2 skins, but low-priced or low-liquidity items can cost up to 10%, some items drop to 1%, and Face2Face sales cost 4%. Its Dota 2, TF2 and Rust sales cost 5%.
Withdrawals. This is where they split. CSFloat charges a withdrawal fee that starts at 2.5% and falls with lifetime sales volume, plus up to 1% for non-USD payouts. DMarket says it takes no withdrawal fee of its own, though the payment provider may. DMarket pays out to PayPal, Skrill and Payoneer within 48 hours, and to card, wire or SEPA within 7 working days. CSFloat pays through Stripe by bank transfer, debit card or USDC. Both have a $5 minimum and both only pay out money earned from sales, not deposits.
Extras. DMarket adds instant sell, bot trading, buy orders (Targets) and item exchange across four games. CSFloat is CS2 only, with auctions, offers, buy orders and a browser extension, and items stay in your Steam inventory until sold.
Access and checks. DMarket needs KYC for card deposits and may ask for it on withdrawal, and it blocks users from Russia and Belarus. CSFloat asks for KYC on some deposit methods and payouts, and does not support payments in Norway. Both are Delaware companies with their own 2FA.
If you want PayPal or Skrill payouts, or trade games beyond CS2, DMarket fits. If you sell CS2 skins and are happy with bank, card or USDC payouts, CSFloat's flat fee is easier to predict. Compare both on the fees page, and read the CSFloat review and DMarket review.
