CS:Guider is the offline field manual for Counter-Strike. Map radars with callouts, frame-by-frame utility lineups, working crosshair codes, buy binds and the numbers behind every weapon — in one app, readable in the ten seconds you have between rounds. Built for CS2, and it still remembers CS:GO and CS 1.6. UTILITY LINEUPS THAT LAND • Smokes, flashes, molotovs and HE for the maps in rotation • Every lineup shows where to stand, where to aim and how to throw — jump-throw, run-throw or standing • Filter by map, side, grenade and destination, then favourite the ones you actually use MAPS AND CALLOUTS • Overhead radars for the full map pool • Callout names, so you can talk like the rest of the server • Bomb sites, common spots and the routes between them TOOLS THAT DO THE MATH • Crosshair generator with shareable codes • Sensitivity and eDPI converter, including cm/360 • Buy binds you can paste straight into your config • Damage tables — armour, helmet, distance and what it takes to kill • Economy calculator for loss bonuses and force-buy calls • Config and launch-option builder PRACTICE AND EXECUTES • Practice routines and drills, with the console commands to set them up • Team executes broken down step by step ARSENAL AND PROGRESS • Every weapon with recoil, price, kill reward and movement speed • Skins, cases and collections • Ranks, achievements and how to earn them REFERENCE • Console command dictionary • A glossary for the terms people shout at you • Pro player settings, crosshairs and sensitivities • Patch notes and esports history USEFUL WITH NO SIGNAL Pages you have opened stay readable offline — on a plane, on the bus, in a LAN centre.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TheSuspect at none against CS's shown. TheSuspect also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months). CS's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
