8 curated case comparisons. Each puts two cases next to each other on opening cost, modeled expected return and ROI, gold odds, and what is in the rare-special pool.

How the comparisons work
Every figure on a comparison page comes from the same calculations as the rest of DropLabz: opening cost is the case price plus its key; expected return is the analytic average over every skin, wear and StatTrak outcome; ROI is expected return ÷ opening cost; gold, knife and glove odds follow the rarity model. Comparisons describe the numbers — they are not advice to open any case, and a modeled ROI below 100% means a negative expected value.
These pairs are chosen because the cases are close in release, price or contents. For the full ranking of every case, see Case ROI or the best cases by modeled ROI.
