CARL2 Analysis Tool vs DemoLens

CARL2 Analysis Tool is a free Windows desktop companion for Rocket League players, coaches, and casters. It analyzes replay files from Steam, Epic Games, or any folder, extracting statistics, movement data, boost events, and in-game actions in 10 to 30 seconds. The replay library supports bulk processing, searches by player or team, date filters, and custom labels. Single-game analysis includes shot maps, an expected-goals model, player timelines, interaction data, boost maps, movement heatmaps, and 3D path maps. Series views aggregate games for team comparisons, win-versus-loss analysis, and game-by-game stat changes. Single-game exports are available as CSV, JSON, or Markdown; series exports are CSV or JSON, with a ZIP option. Live modes include replay control, monitoring, coach tools, and a caster-focused view. Real-time stats can appear as a browser-source overlay in OBS or another capture tool. The current version supports BakkesMod and Easy Anti-Cheat. Installation instructions require BakkesMod first, followed by CARL2 and email account confirmation.

DemoLens is a free browser viewer for Counter-Strike 2 match demos, presenting a 2D tactical replay rather than a 3D first-person view. It accepts .dem, .dem.gz, and .dem.zst files and parses them in the browser with WebAssembly, so demo files are not uploaded to DemoLens. Replay controls include a multi-level radar, grenade trajectories, player status, key presses, playback speed, and kill markers. Analysis tools provide grenade lineup pins, movement trails, heatmap-style pins, FOV cones, drawing mode, and kill-feed badges. Scoreboard and economy data, player metrics, percentile comparisons, and an integrity check against professional baselines are included. FACEIT demos add synchronised voice playback, per-player voice timelines with WAV export, and chat translation. The browser extension adds one-click demo opening and player scouting statistics in FACEIT rooms. Desktop Chrome, Edge, or Firefox is required; phones are unsupported. The project says it has no accounts, tracking, analytics cookies, ads, or personal-data collection.
