just wondering how much an estimate would be.
I and some friends are thinking of creating some servers we are coming from rsps(runescape private servers) so we have a pretty good knowledge of java if that matters at all.
also wondering if any anti-cheat exists that's as good as ESEA.

ESEA has been developing it for something like 15 years, with funding ranging into the millions. There exists nothing of the sort, paid or free, for CSGO communities.

Easy Anti-Cheat is the one main option, but everyone knows it's garbage. Sourcemod anti cheat is dead, even the forked versions are just a waste of resources on your machine. There was COW anti cheat, here in these forums, but I think that project is dead.

The sad reality is that cheat detection requires day to day maintenance since cheat developers have regular, paying customers that require them to stay ahead of cheat detection. One side is actively making money, which goes towards continued development...while the other side is trying to actively catch them with, let's face it, little to no funding.

It's lose lose for anti cheat devs. You make no money, and no matter how many cheaters you catch, there are always thousands still steps ahead of you.
