Boosting Prices in 2026: What Carries Actually Cost

Boosting prices are hard to compare on purpose. Most shops publish a teaser "from" price, hide the real number behind a configurator, and quote the expensive products only in chat. This study collects what is actually published, in one place, with dates.

We looked at six service archetypes across two games and two shooters: Mythic+ keystone runs, Gladiator and rated PvP, Heroic/Mythic raid clears and character leveling in World of Warcraft, plus Valorant rank climbs and CS2 Premier rating. For each archetype we recorded the published price points we could verify on ten boosting shops in June 2026 — including our own live catalog, marked in gold below so you can see exactly where we sit in the data we are reporting.

Two caveats up front. First, a "from" price is an entry configuration, not an average order — option stacks (loot priority, express delivery, self-play) routinely double it. Second, where a shop publishes nothing, we say so rather than estimate; the opacity itself turned out to be a finding.

Key findings

1. A Gladiator carry runs €320–840 across major shops — a 2.6× spread for the identical title, mount and elite gear set.
2. A single entry-level Mythic+ key costs €7–12 everywhere prices are published; a timed M+15 sits around €25 and a timed +20 around €95.
3. A Heroic full clear of a current-tier WoW raid spans €14–68 at published base prices — a 4.8× spread, driven mostly by loot mode.
4. Climbing 0 → 30,000 CS2 Premier rating costs €552 at published rates, and points get ~4.6× more expensive per thousand at the top brackets (€5.90/1k at 0–5k vs €27.40/1k at 15–20k).
5. One low-rank Valorant division costs €6–10 at virtually every shop; the market competes on add-ons, not the base per-division rate.
6. Price opacity is the norm at the high end: Mythic raid clears, Gladiator and long Valorant climbs are quote-only at most of the ten shops we checked.
7. Character leveling is the least transparent archetype — most major shops publish no on-page leveling price at all; verifiable third-party from-prices start under €25.
8. Season-long Mythic+ score packages scale roughly linearly with target score: ~€45 for 2000 (Keystone Hero), ~€120 for 2500 (Master), ~€290 for 3000 (Legend).

01 · World of Warcraft

Mythic+ keystone runs

The bread and butter of WoW boosting. Entry pricing is tight across the market — almost every shop advertises a single low key under €15 — but the spread opens fast with key level. Published prices for one dungeon run:

A single entry-level key runs €7–12 across the shops with published prices; a timed M+15 sits around €25, and a timed +20 around €95. Season-long packages scale from €45 (Keystone Hero, 2000 score) to €290 (Keystone Legend, 3000).

02 · World of Warcraft

Gladiator & rated PvP

The widest price spread we measured anywhere. Rated-arena entry products start near €20 everywhere, but the Gladiator title — 2400+ rating with 50 wins at that level — is priced like a luxury good, and most shops will only quote it in chat:

A Gladiator carry runs €320–840 across the shops we checked — a 2.6× spread for the same title, mount and elite set. Overgear does not publish a Gladiator price at all (custom quote only).

03 · World of Warcraft

Heroic & Mythic raid clears

Current-tier Heroic full clears (Midnight’s The Voidspire at the time of writing) are the most loot-mode-sensitive product in the market: the same 6/6 clear can triple in price between "group loot" and "full loot priority". Published full-clear prices:

A Heroic full clear of a current or last-tier raid spans €14–68 at published base prices — a 4.8× spread driven almost entirely by loot mode and run freshness. Mythic full clears are quote-only at most shops; the one published from-price in our sample is €180.

04 · World of Warcraft

Character leveling

The most opaque archetype in the study. Of the shops we checked, most route leveling straight into a configurator or sales chat with no visible number. The published from-prices we could verify:

Overgear and Boosthive both sell 1–80/1–90 leveling but publish no on-page price (calculator or chat quote only, June 2026). Blizzard’s own in-game store boost remains the de-facto ceiling reference for the category. Published third-party from-prices start under €25.

05 · Valorant

Valorant rank climbs

Valorant boosting is priced per division, and the per-division rate at low ranks is remarkably consistent across the market — the differentiation happens in add-ons (duo queue, agent choice, streaming), not the base rate:

One low-rank division costs €6–10 almost everywhere. Long climbs (Iron → Ascendant and above) are quote-only at every shop we checked — including Overgear, which publishes no Valorant prices at all.

06 · Counter-Strike 2

CS2 Premier rating

The only archetype where one shop publishes a full bracket table, which makes the cost curve unusually visible: CS2 Premier points get dramatically more expensive the higher you climb. Published bracket prices (BuyBoosting) against entry from-prices:

Climbing from 0 to 30,000 Premier rating costs €552 at published rates. Per thousand points, the price rises from ~€5.90 in the 0–5k bracket to ~€27.40 in the 15–20k bracket — a 4.6× escalation.

Methodology

• Collection window: June 11–12, 2026. All competitor prices are figures published openly on public product pages or catalog listings at that time; nothing was obtained from private quotes.
• PEWPEWSHOP prices were pulled from our live catalog API (496 active products) on 2026-06-12 and are included as ordinary data points, marked in gold. We are a market participant; treat our rows accordingly.
• Currencies: prices are shown exactly as published (€ or $). For the bar charts, USD figures are scaled 1:1 with EUR — at June 2026 rates the difference is within a few percent and does not change any ordering or finding.
• Quote-only shops (configurator or chat pricing with no visible number) are recorded as such, not estimated. One Skycoach figure is an observed configured quote and is labeled that way.
• What "from" means: the cheapest published configuration of a service. Real orders with options typically land 1.5–3× higher; comparisons here are entry price vs entry price.
• Reuse: the dataset on this page is published under CC BY 4.0 — cite "PEWPEWSHOP Research" with a link to this URL.
