CS2 Demo Analysis Kit vs Freezetime

CS2 Demo Analysis Kit includes DAK Studio, a free desktop platform for analyzing Counter-Strike 2 demos locally. It links statistics to the source match, round and tick, with a 2D replay for inspection. The app runs on the user’s machine without an account, upload or server. Its modules cover replay, player profiles, duels and mechanics, utility and economy, tournaments, and coach preparation. The built-in exporter imports .dem files or cs2-demo-format v3 ZIPs and parses them on the computer. Windows and macOS downloads include a DMG, installer and portable ZIP options. The full Windows portable ZIP includes the Cologne Major 2026 event package and map data; the core ZIP contains runtime only. The runtime rejects v2 packages, which must be re-exported with cs2df. DAK Studio is AGPL-3.0-only, while ecosystem packages and the Python shell are MIT licensed. The analysis layer is also consumed by RivalHub and CS2 Insight Agent.

Freezetime is a free, self-hosted analysis platform for Counter-Strike 2 demos. Its public archive is a read-only site with more than 2,600 professional matches, searchable and grouped by series, and needs no installation or account. For a personal demo, the Analyze page parses one file in the browser using WebAssembly, so the file stays on the user's machine. Processing produces 16 Hz player positions along with kills, grenades, and economy data. Synchronized 2D replays show player health, economy, kill feed, grenade trajectories, smoke, and flash effects. Analysis tools include opponent reports, predictions, ML Lab, leaderboards, match comparison, heatmaps, ghost rounds, Moments, and Pattern Finder. My DB can process private demos without the server keeping a copy. Self-hosting unlocks features marked self-host only, but users must supply their own demos because the repository contains no match data or database dumps. The project says smart features use deterministic methods and locally trained models rather than external AI services. Freezetime is MIT licensed, with no warranty.
