Is Valuely legit?

A free calculator that estimates two numbers for a game account: what it is worth now, and what it cost to build. You get there either by answering three questions, or by uploading a screenshot once that feature ships. One game is live today: the account value calculator is the tool, and how much have I spent reads the same account from the other direction.

We are a small independent team. We also run Divine Skins and Deskmax, which is where the traffic goes and why this is free. There is no marketplace here, no brokering, no affiliate deal with an account seller, and no links to any site that buys or sells accounts. That is a positioning decision, not a legal one: the moment a valuation tool starts routing you to a marketplace, its numbers stop being trustworthy.

Every line below is checkable in under a minute, which is the point of writing them this way.

We never ask for a password, a Riot ID, a summoner name, an Epic sign-in, a Steam trade link, or an API key. No site needs any of those to look at a picture of your collection.

We do not store screenshots. When screenshot reading ships, images are processed in memory and discarded after the facts are extracted. Right now the quick guess does not upload anything at all: it runs in your browser, and you can confirm zero network requests with your own devtools.

We have no user accounts. No sign-up, no email list, no password database, nothing to breach and nothing to sell.

We do not sell accounts and we do not tell you to. Riot's Terms of Service prohibit account transfers and detected transfers get banned permanently. We say that on every page where the question comes up.

The honest other half.

• Anonymous product analytics: page views, which game tiles get clicked, whether a valuation finished. No names, no identifiers, no cross-site tracking.
• Error reports when something breaks, which include a browser and a stack trace.
• One random device token, stored in a cookie and used to enforce rate limits so a script cannot burn our API budget. It is a random string, not an identity.
• A Cloudflare Turnstile check to keep bots out, which is not a CAPTCHA that profiles you.
• When screenshot reading ships: the image itself, held in memory, sent to Google's Gemini API on the paid tier where inputs are not used for model training, then discarded. Google is named as a sub-processor on our privacy page because naming them is the only way that promise means anything.

Five patterns, all documented, none hypothetical.

1. The fake login checker. This is the one that steals accounts. A Fortnite player on r/FortniteBR described using a locker valuer at fortnite.one: after signing in, the account email was changed instantly and they were locked out. Their line is worth quoting because it is the whole genre in one sentence: they found out their locker was worth 2 grand right before losing it. Two more sites, fortbd.com and fnvault.live, were flagged by players in the same subreddits after the same outcome. Malwarebytes published on the pattern in July 2026.
2. The honest tool that had to withdraw. fortnite.gg built a real locker value feature on official Epic account linking, then removed it and stated that no player data had been breached. Nobody scammed anyone. It is included here because it shows what a responsible operator does when the sign-in pattern becomes unsafe, and because it is why we never built a login version in the first place.
3. The number that never moved. In a public r/PlayerAuctions thread, users reported that the Valorant account calculator returned $169 for NA and $107 for EU no matter what was entered, and one said they entered nothing at all, pressed calculate, and still got $169. Those are user claims and we have not reproduced them, so read them as reported rather than proven. The reason to care is the principle: a tool that ignores your inputs is not inaccurate, it is decoration. Test any calculator by changing one input and checking that the total moves.
4. Value by username. No public API exposes owned skins for League, Valorant or Fortnite. Riot's public API returns rank, level and match history, and nothing about your collection. So a site promising a full account value from just your username is either guessing from your rank or building up to asking for a login. We do not offer a username lookup for exactly this reason.
5. The Discord appraiser. Someone offers to value or middleman your account, asks for a screenshot, then asks for one small extra thing: an email, a recovery code, a quick login to verify. The screenshot was never the point.

Use this on us too.

1. Is there a login button? If a value checker wants your game credentials, close it. There is no version of this where handing over a password is required.
2. Does the answer change when the inputs change? Enter a rubbish account, then a stacked one. Same number both times means the calculator is fake.
3. Does it show a range or one exact price? One precise figure implies certainty that this market does not have.
4. Does it separate spend from market value? A tool showing one number is hiding the number you did not expect.
5. Does it publish where prices come from? Comparable listings, named item anchors, a refresh date. Our algorithm analyses our trading data is not a method.
6. Does it say what happens to your screenshot? Retention should be stated in one sentence and be short.
7. Does it push you toward selling? If the result page routes to a marketplace, the valuation is advertising.
8. Does it ask for anything it does not need? An email to see your result is a list-building tax, not a feature.

Open devtools, switch to the network tab, and run the quick guess. Nothing is sent. Search the page source for a login form and you will not find one. Read privacy and terms, both of which are short on purpose so you can actually finish them.

One thing we ask of you: blur or crop your name before uploading a screenshot when that ships. Game screenshots catch friends lists, party members and chat, which is other people's data, and we never render another player's name on a share card.
