PoE Overlay II is an all-in-one trade and price-check overlay for Path of Exile 2, by Kyusung4698, distributed through Overwolf. Here’s how it and ePOE line up for Path of Exile 2 — honestly, feature by feature.
PoE Overlay II is a popular all-in-one trade and price-check overlay for Path of Exile 2, made by Kyusung4698 and distributed through the Overwolf platform. It leans hard into trading: instant price checks pulled from the official trade site, a built-in trade panel that handles invites and whispers, an automatic tracker for earnings and profit, and an in-game market browser for sniping — all wrapped in a clean, PoE 2-native UI.
ePOE is a free PoE2 companion overlay too, but it aims wider than trading: a crafting simulator, a build-aware upgrade finder, controller support and an account-backed ecosystem sit alongside the price panel — and it's free with no ads, no subscription and no third-party client to install. 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 PoE Overlay II v1.68.0 as of September 2026. Both ePOE and PoE Overlay II are actively developed, so check the tool’s own site for the latest.
It's free to install but ad-supported, with an optional premium subscription that removes ads and unlocks premium features. ePOE is free with no ads and no subscription.
PoE Overlay II is distributed primarily through Overwolf, and installing it installs the Overwolf Client; a standalone download is also offered. ePOE is a standalone installer with no third-party client to add.
Neither publishes its source. PoE Overlay II is a closed-source Overwolf app, and ePOE's source isn't published either, so if open source is a must-have, look at Exiled Exchange 2 or Sidekick instead.
No. Neither tool reads game memory. Both work from the item on your clipboard; ePOE also uses OCR for reward screens. Nothing is injected into the game.
If you want an Overwolf-based overlay with a dedicated market-sniping browser and a large, established user base, PoE Overlay II is strong. If you want a crafting simulator, a build-aware upgrade finder, controller support and an account-backed toolkit with no ads or subscription, that's where ePOE goes further. They coexist fine; try both.
