CS Demo Analyzer vs Mercurial

CS Demo Analyzer is a free command-line tool for analyzing and exporting Counter-Strike 2 and CS:GO demo files. It produces CSV, JSON, or CSDM output, and an optional flag adds entity positions such as player and grenade locations. Users can force a demo source, with supported options including FACEIT, ESEA, ESL, and Valve. Developers can use the Go API to analyze a demo or analyze and export it. The @akiver/cs-demo-analyzer NPM module wraps the Go CLI and supplies TypeScript types and constants. The project uses the demoinfocs-golang parser, created by Markus W. and maintained by him and AkiVer. It is distributed under the MIT License, which permits use, modification, and distribution subject to its conditions. The linked CS Demo Manager companion application lists statistics, grenade finding, heatmaps, VAC tracking, video generation, downloads, search, and exports; that app can export XLSX or JSON or provide SQL access to its database. CS Demo Analyzer is intended for developers extracting data from Counter-Strike demos and supports Linux, macOS, Windows, and API use.

Mercurial is a web-based Counter-Strike 2 demo analyzer that produces gameplay statistics and probabilistic cheat-detection scores. The maker says every demo receives more than 40 cheat-pattern checks. AI Deep Scan weighs those findings with player history, account credibility, and match context. The analyzer grades counter-strafing shot by shot and measures crosshair placement, utility use, pre-aim, ping, and spray shake. Match Coach gives advice tied to individual rounds, while Form Check reviews form after every five scored games. Setup Lab lets players tag matches with equipment and settings, compare setups, and receive AI suggestions. Demos can come from Valve matchmaking, FACEIT, or community servers. The Free plan analyzes only your own demos and includes one AI Deep Scan daily. Plus costs $5 a month; Ultra costs $10 a month and adds priority support. Results can include false positives and false negatives.
