If you play FACEIT seriously in 2026, the browser-extension layer is crowded. Repeek, Mappio, Faceit EGO, Tapit and Forecast all promise an edge — and they don't do the same thing. We tested the ones people are actually searching for, queued real matches, and compared what each one adds. This is the honest breakdown: what every FACEIT extension does best, and why most players only need one GRIND instead of a stack.
The short answer
The short answer is GRIND. It covers everything Repeek is installed for — auto ready-up, recent-match stats, FACEIT Rating and Swing — and adds the pre-veto lobby read Repeek doesn't have. One extension instead of a stack:
- GRIND — all-in-one: win chance on every map before veto, player roles and skill rings, a 0–100 smurf score, FACEIT Rating and Swing, "Played together", private notes, 1v1 duel, plus match and party auto-accept, auto map ban, auto position and auto-copy connect.
- Repeek (formerly FACEIT Enhancer) — auto ready-up and recent-match stats. GRIND has this too.
- Mappio — veto and positioning intel: map-ban probabilities and opponent position heatmaps.
- Faceit EGO — a 0–100 skill score, win probability and lobby stats.
- Tapit (formerly FaceitAdvanced) — automation, trading tools and stream widgets.
- Forecast — a lightweight, ELO-weighted win estimate.

Every FACEIT extension, compared
GRIND
Built for the decisions you make before the match — those are the ones that actually earn ELO. GRIND covers everything Repeek is usually installed for, and adds the pre-veto lobby read: which map your team is favoured on, who on the enemy team is a smurf, who plays what role, and who you've already played with. Finding a player's FACEIT profile straight from their Steam page, even a hidden one, is something only GRIND does out of every extension in this comparison. Here's what it does:
- Win chance on every map — a radar across the whole pool plus a breakdown per map — pick the one where your team is ahead. That is the ELO.
- Team face-off — win chance, Firepower, average kills and K/D above each team.
- Roles and 5 skill rings — CARRY, AWPER, ENTRY and more on all ten players — see who does what at a glance.
- FACEIT Rating and Swing — each player's real round impact over the last 30 matches.
- Last 30 matches — win rate, K/D/A, ADR and HS% for every player in the lobby.
- Career and maps — how many matches a player has played and their stats on every map.
- Form and streaks — who is in form right now and who is on a win or loss streak.
- Smurf and Boosted score 0–100 — suspicious and boosted accounts show up before round one.
- Levels 11–20 — tell level 10s apart above 2,250 ELO — with GRIND metals or levels 11–20.
- Played together — who you have already met in your last 100 matches, and the score.
- 1v1 Duel — compare any two players in the lobby head to head.
- Player notes — tag a griefer or a great teammate — the note pops up next time you meet and stays on your device only.
- Auto-accept match and invite — never miss a match while you are away; delay from 1 to 10 seconds.
- Server and ping on the accept popup — the match server right in the accept window, server ping there and on the server-picker page.
- Auto map ban — when you are captain, your least favourite map is banned for you — with a countdown and a cancel button.
- Auto position — your spot on the chosen map goes to team chat first, once per match.
- Auto-copy connect — the moment the server is ready, the connect line is on your clipboard — paste it into the CS2 console.
- Match history — average ELO of both teams, 10/20/30-match markers and a scoreboard on hover.
- Profile summary — your best map, day and time to play, plus per-map stats.
- Your own card — your ELO, progress to the next level and session ±ELO in the corner of the page.
- Find FACEIT by Steam — a player's FACEIT profile right from their Steam page — even if the profile is private.
Repeek (formerly FACEIT Enhancer)
The most-installed FACEIT extension, with over a million installs. Repeek auto-readies your matches, accepts party invites, and shows your last 30 matches with FACEIT Rating and Swing. GRIND has all of that too. There's no pre-veto analysis in Repeek — no win probability by map, no roles, no smurf score, no auto map ban. So there's little reason to keep Repeek next to GRIND — GRIND replaces it. Full breakdown of Repeek and what replaces it.
Mappio
The fastest-rising newcomer, and a genuinely tactical tool. Mappio calculates the enemy captain's map-ban probabilities during veto, downloads opponents' recent matches and draws their preferred-position heatmaps, and tags player roles (entry, anchor, support, AWP). Some of it sits behind a paid subscription. Player roles and win probability by map are in GRIND too, for free, alongside a smurf score, 1v1 duel and auto-actions. To be fair: GRIND doesn't have opponent position heatmaps — that's Mappio's unique feature. Mappio is a UI enhancer, not a cheat — it only reads public FACEIT data. See the full FACEIT Mappio breakdown.
Faceit EGO Enhancer
The closest competitor to GRIND in spirit. EGO puts a single 0–100 "EGO Score" on every profile, shows both teams' pre-match win chance, and lists lobby stats (K/D, K/R, ADR, win rate). Where GRIND differs: it calculates win probability per map before the map pick/ban, scores each opponent for smurfing and boosting, and adds a fast face-to-face compare — so the read is tied to the exact maps and players in front of you, not a single profile number.
Tapit (formerly FaceitAdvanced)
The broadest toolkit of the group. Tapit blends FACEIT analytics and auto-accept with CS2 trading features (trade-lock countdowns, Doppler phases, float values) and stream widgets for OBS. If you stream or trade skins, that breadth is useful — but for pre-match decisions it's less focused than GRIND's win-probability-by-map and smurf score.
FACEIT Forecast
A lightweight, single-purpose extension that shows an ELO-weighted win estimate for the match. It's simple and fast, but it's a rough team-ELO estimate rather than GRIND's per-map probability built from both teams' ELO, ADR, K/D, win rate and recent form.
Which should you install?
Most players — just GRIND. It covers the auto ready-up and recent-match stats people install Repeek for, and adds the full pre-match read: maps, roles, smurfs, "Played together" and auto-actions. There's no need for a second extension for the same features. Want enemy position heatmaps specifically? That's Mappio's niche. Streamers and skin traders — Tapit.

FAQ
What is the best FACEIT extension in 2026?
For most players — GRIND. It covers Repeek's baseline features (auto ready-up, recent-match stats, FACEIT Rating and Swing) and adds pre-match analysis: win probability by map, smurf detection, player roles, "Played together", face-to-face compare and auto-actions — auto-accept, auto map ban and auto position. Niche needs are still covered by Mappio (position heatmaps) and Tapit (trading and streaming).
Is Mappio safe to use?
Yes. Mappio is a browser UI enhancer that only reads public FACEIT data — it isn't a cheat and doesn't touch the game client. The same is true of GRIND and the other extensions here.
What's the difference between Mappio and GRIND?
Mappio focuses on veto map-ban probabilities and position heatmaps. Both tools tag player roles and both estimate veto-stage win probability. GRIND adds a 0–100 smurf/booster score, face-to-face compare, player form, ELO tiers and match/party auto-accept — so GRIND covers most of what Mappio does and a lot more in one panel, while Mappio's distinct extra is its position heatmaps.
Is Faceit EGO Enhancer the same as GRIND?
They're similar — both show a skill score, win probability and lobby stats. The difference: GRIND calculates win probability per map before the map pick/ban, scores each opponent for smurfing and boosting, tags player roles, and adds a face-to-face compare — a read built around the maps you pick and the opponents you face.
Does GRIND replace Repeek?
Yes. Auto ready-up, accepting party invites and recent-match stats are all in GRIND, so there's no need for a second extension just for those. If you already have Repeek installed, there's no conflict — but keeping both is barely worth it.
Do these FACEIT extensions work in Yandex Browser?
Yes — Yandex Browser is Chromium-based, so GRIND, Repeek, Mappio and the rest run in it just like in Chrome. Full guide: FACEIT extensions in Yandex Browser.
Do FACEIT extensions work in Opera and Opera GX?
Yes — Opera and Opera GX are Chromium-based too. The catch: the Chrome Web Store needs the free "Install Chrome Extensions" add-on. Full guide: FACEIT extensions in Opera & Opera GX.
