SkinFolio vs Pricempire: free portfolio tracker or full data layer?

Both let you track your CS2 inventory's value, but they're built for different audiences. SkinFolio is a minimal, always-free portfolio tracker that gets the job done. Pricempire is the canonical data layer for the entire CS2 tooling ecosystem — its API powers third-party trackers — and bundles a portfolio view on top.
