StatTrak™ and Souvenir premium: ×1.5 on guns, ×1.2 on knives
The StatTrak™ version of a skin counts the kills made with that gun. The Souvenir version comes from a tournament package and carries the match stickers. Do they really cost more than the normal version, and by how much? We measured it on our prices.
The short answer
- StatTrak™ on a gun: about ×1.51 the price of the normal version (median).
- StatTrak™ on a knife: about ×1.18.
- The premium drops as the price rises: ×1.56 on guns at €1–5, ×1.36 at €20–100, and almost nothing (×1.03) on knives at €500 and above.
- Souvenir: from €1 upward, no measurable premium (×1.0).
How we measured it
- The pairs: for each skin that exists in a normal version and a StatTrak™ (or Souvenir) version, in the same wear, we compare their two reference prices. 3,883 StatTrak™ pairs and 1,246 Souvenir pairs, measured on October 25, 2026.
- The reference price: the one FragPrice computes at every price check to validate site prices (median of all marketplace prices and of real Skinport sales).
- The median: we keep the middle value, and we also give the "middle half" (half of the pairs fall within that range) to show how much cases vary.
The results
StatTrak™
| Group | Median premium | Middle half of pairs |
|---|---|---|
| Guns | ×1.51 | ×1.12 to ×2.0 |
| Knives | ×1.18 | ×1.05 to ×1.34 |
By price:
| Price of the normal version | Median StatTrak™ premium |
|---|---|
| Guns at €1–5 | ×1.56 |
| Guns at €20–100 | ×1.36 |
| Knives at €500 and above | ×1.03 |
On a cheap skin, StatTrak™ can cost one and a half times more. On an expensive knife the gap becomes very small: buyers pay for the knife, not the counter.
Souvenir
From €1 upward, the Souvenir version sells at the same price as the normal version (×0.95 to ×1.05 depending on the price bracket). Below €1 you see huge ratios (×3 to ×1,200), but they mean nothing: the normal version of these skins sells at the €0.02 floor price, so any Souvenir looks hundreds of times more expensive.
An extreme case, not an error
The ★ StatTrak™ Navaja Knife | Blue Steel (Factory New) is listed around €14,000 to €16,000 on three sites, versus about €160 for the normal version. This version is almost impossible to find (this knife's float doesn't go below 0.06, so its Factory New version only exists between 0.06 and 0.07): it's not a pricing error, but it falls completely outside the averages.
What it means for you
- Small budget: StatTrak™ often costs one and a half times more. If you don't care about the counter, take the normal version.
- Expensive knife: the difference is small, take the version you like.
- Souvenir: above €1, don't pay extra just for the "Souvenir" label; it's the tournament stickers that can matter (see our sticker study).
FAQ
Is the StatTrak™ premium the same on every skin?
No. On guns, half of the pairs fall between ×1.12 and ×2.0: some StatTrak™ versions cost barely more, others double. Always compare both prices on the skin page.
Why is the StatTrak™ premium smaller on knives?
Because a knife's price comes mostly from its finish and its condition. The counter adds little to an item already worth several hundred euros.
Are Souvenir skins worth more?
From €1 upward, not on their own: their median price is the same as the normal version. Tournament stickers applied to them can make a difference case by case.
