Comparison
Exiled Exchange 2 is a free, open-source Path of Exile 2 price-check and trade overlay, forked from Awakened PoE Trade. Here’s how it and ePOE line up for Path of Exile 2 — honestly, feature by feature.
Exiled Exchange 2 (EE2) is one of the most established price-check overlays for Path of Exile 2. It's a fork of Awakened PoE Trade — a lineage that has been trusted by PoE players for years — built as an Electron overlay, released under the MIT license, and completely free.
ePOE is a free PoE2 companion overlay too, but it aims wider than price checking: a crafting simulator, a build-aware upgrade finder, controller support and an account-backed ecosystem sit alongside the price panel. This page lays the two side by side, feature by feature, so you can pick the one that fits how you play — or run both.

Compared against Exiled Exchange 2 v0.16.3 as of September 2026. Both ePOE and Exiled Exchange 2 are actively developed, so check the tool’s own site for the latest.
Yes. EE2 is free and open source under the MIT license. ePOE is also free.
EE2 is open source (MIT) — its full source is on GitHub. ePOE is free but its source is not published, so if open source matters to you, EE2 is the clear pick.
No. Neither tool reads game memory. Both read items from your clipboard (EE2 also uses OCR for tricky UI states); ePOE reads the item off your cursor via the clipboard. Nothing is injected into the game.
If you want a focused, open-source price checker — or you're on macOS — EE2 is excellent. If you want a crafting simulator, a build-aware upgrade finder, controller support and an account-backed toolkit on top of price checking, that's where ePOE goes further. They coexist fine; try both.
