- Premier from $3.32
- FACEIT from $4.37
- Duo add-on +40%
- Coaching from $17.10
Ten CS2 services, two ladders, piloted or duo, and a handful of add-ons — it's easy to buy the wrong thing. This guide sorts them by what you actually want: a higher number on your Premier card, a FACEIT level, a few clean wins, a strong start to a season, or simply getting better. Every price and delivery time is read live from our checkout, so the table below matches what you'd pay today.
Short answer: want a higher CS Rating → a Premier boost;
a higher FACEIT level → a FACEIT Elo boost; a few wins
without a target → net wins; a new season →
placement matches; to play every game yourself →
duo games; to get better →
coaching or a demo review.
Key takeaways
- Buy the ladder you play. Premier and FACEIT are separate — a boost on one never moves the other.
- Targets or wins. A rank boost delivers a number; net wins deliver wins over losses at the rating you're at.
- Piloted is fastest, duo keeps the account in your hands (+40%) — and you learn while you climb.
- Keeping the rank is a different job. Coaching and demo reviews fix the habits; a boost only moves the badge.
- Prices are per unit — 1,000 rating, 100 Elo, one rank, one win — so a short climb costs little and you only pay for the distance.
Pick by goal
Most players fit one row. If two fit — you want a higher rating and you want to play the games — the duo add-on on a Premier boost does both: the booster joins your party, and you climb on your own account.
Every CS2 service side by side
| Service | What you get | Pace | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premier Rating Boost | A higher CS Rating — any start and target | ~2,000–3,000 rating / day | |
| FACEIT Elo Boost | More FACEIT Elo, up to the next level or Level 10 | ~250–350 Elo / day | |
| Wingman Rank Boost | A higher Wingman Skill Group | ~2 ranks / day | |
| Competitive Rank Boost | A higher Skill Group on the map you choose | ||
| Premier Net Wins | A fixed number of wins over losses | ~4–6 net wins / day | |
| Placement Matches | Your Premier placement matches played | up to 5 matches / day | |
| FACEIT Placement Matches | Your FACEIT placement matches played | ||
| Pro Teammate (Duo Queue) | Matches with a pro calling the rounds | scheduled around you | |
| 1-on-1 Coaching | An hour of 1-on-1 coaching | scheduled around you | |
| Demo / VOD Analysis | A written round-by-round review | 24–48h turnaround |
"From" is the price of one unit — 1,000 rating, 100 Elo, one rank, one win, one match or one hour. How long each takes, climb by climb, is in how long a CS2 boost takes.
Premier, FACEIT, Wingman or Competitive?
Premier
Valve's ranked mode, with a CS Rating everyone sees in the main menu and seven colour bands. Needs Prime and Profile Level 10; since 22 September 2026 each team votes for maps. The one most people mean by "my rank" — Premier ranks explained.
FACEIT
A separate platform with its own anti-cheat, Levels 1–10 and Elo. Popular with experienced players and teams; a level here says nothing about your Premier rating — Premier vs FACEIT.
Wingman
Valve's 2v2 mode with its own Skill Groups from Silver to Global Elite — shorter matches, smaller maps — Wingman ranks explained.
Competitive
Valve's 5v5 mode where every map has its own Skill Group, shown after 2 wins on that map — Competitive ranks explained.
Piloted or duo?
Piloted is the fastest: a verified booster plays on your account. You save your login at checkout; it's encrypted, shown only to the booster who claims the order, and wiped when the order closes. Duo (+40%) means you play every game yourself with the booster in your party — no login changes hands, and you see how the rounds are won. Neither is free of risk under Valve's and FACEIT's rules; the trade-offs are laid out in duo vs piloted and is CS2 boosting safe.
Add-ons worth paying for
| Add-on | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Duo / self-play | +40% | You play every game with the booster in your party. |
| Express | +25% | The faster track — the delivery estimate drops to about 1/1.6 of the standard time. |
| Solo queue only | +30% | The booster queues alone — no party with other players on your account. |
| Pro stats mode | +50% | The booster keeps your K/D and ADR looking like a good week. |
| Coaching duo | +40% | The booster coaches you on voice while you play together (needs duo). |
| Custom schedule | +10% | Games only at the times you set. |
| Appear offline | Free | Your friends list doesn't show you online while the booster plays. |
Add-ons apply to the order total. Duo and solo-queue-only can't both apply — duo wins — and coaching duo needs the duo add-on. The checkout shows each one's price before you pay.
When a boost is the wrong buy
- You want to stay at the rank. If you'd drop back after the boost, start with coaching or a demo review.
- You can't accept any account risk. Duo games and coaching never touch your login.
- You haven't unlocked Premier yet. It needs Prime and Profile Level 10 — see how to unlock Premier and the XP calculator.
Still unsure? Open the Premier boost page, set your current and
target rating and look at the live price and delivery time — or ask us in the live chat which service fits.

FAQ
Common questions
Which CS2 boost is the best value?
The one that matches your goal. To raise a number people see — your CS Rating or FACEIT level — a Premier or FACEIT boost prices the exact climb. Net wins (from $1.90 a win) suit a fixed push when you'd rather buy wins than a target, and placement matches (from $3.09 a match) set a season's starting rating.
Premier boost or FACEIT boost?
Pick the ladder you actually play. Premier is Valve's ranked mode with a CS Rating everyone sees in the main menu; FACEIT is a separate platform with its own anti-cheat, Levels 1–10 and Elo. A boost on one doesn't move the other.
Should I choose piloted or duo?
Piloted is the fastest: a verified booster plays on your account, and your login is encrypted and wiped when the order closes. Duo (+40%) means you play every game yourself with the booster in your party — no login shared, and you learn while you climb.
Is coaching better than a boost?
If you want to keep the rank, often yes: a coaching hour (from $17.10) works on the habits that hold you back, while a boost moves the badge. Plenty of players do both — a boost to the right bracket, then coaching to hold it.
