CS2 Demo Analysis Kit vs my-csmanager Demo Viewer

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.

my-csmanager Demo Viewer is a browser-based Counter-Strike 2 service for demo analysis, tactical planning, and team organization. Players can upload a demo, select their player, and review personal metrics and situations such as isolated duels or deaths without a trade. The 2D viewer plays rounds from above, jumps to important moments, and follows players and utility on the map without desktop software. Analysis includes spray-control observations for the AK-47, M4A4, and M4A1-S, along with map views of positions, movement routes, and map-control gaps. Pro adds player and team analysis, demo trends, deeper team and map analysis, and further AI reports within plan allowances. Team tools include a calendar, stratbook, practice logs, live cheatsheet, and utility collection. Users can also choose from 105 strat templates for seven maps, with five player parts and a 2D sequence per template. Free access includes one personal AI report total and full demos in the viewer; Pro (Single Player) costs €1.99 a month, billed monthly, and Pro (Team) costs €9.99 a month, billed monthly. The service says its platform runs on servers in Germany.
