CaptureAge vs my-csmanager Demo Viewer

CaptureAge’s CA:DE is a Windows spectating client for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. It renders supported modes with a custom overlay and additional statistics. Documented modes include 1v1, team games, free-for-all, AI games, and Battle Royale. The free version supports playback of CA:DE recordings regardless of patch, full zoom, essential statistics, an integrated creator scoreboard, and a replay browser. Pro adds recording generation, timeline controls, reverse playback, bookmarks, a unit-follow camera, and further statistics and unit breakdowns. Pro costs €5/mo; Pro Plus costs €10/mo and Pro Legend costs €25/mo, with the latter two including custom CA:DE skins users can style with their own CSS and assets. The game must be installed to use CA:DE. The FAQ describes preliminary support for non-Steam versions, including Microsoft Store, and asks users to test Xbox PC versions. Running CA:DE alongside the game demands more from the system than the game alone; the FAQ recommends CA:DE Recordings for best performance. The privacy policy says it may collect email, cookie, IP, browser and device identifiers, and application interactions.
