Verdict
What sets Electron Anticheat apart isn't a detection percentage nobody can verify, but what it gives your staff afterwards: a replay of a player's full session, live views of their screen, and a screenshot and video with every ban.
Electron Anticheat is a cloud-managed anticheat for FiveM by Electron Services (JMBH BV, Belgium). It runs as a server-side resource that you control from a web dashboard, works with ESX, QBCore, Qbox, vRP and custom frameworks, and according to Electron it supports both GTAV Legacy and Enhanced builds. The main drawbacks: prices aren't on the website, and like every vendor in this market, its detections haven't been tested independently.
Who it's for
- Servers whose staff need to back up bans with evidence, especially in appeals.
- Teams that want to watch suspicious players live without joining the server.
- Owners who'd rather pay once: lifetime pays for itself in just over three months.
Look elsewhere if
- You have no budget at all: start with the free, open-source FireAC.
- You only buy from vendors with a public price list.
What you get
Live monitoring
Watch several player screens at once from the dashboard, with audio. Electron's comparison lists up to 16 screens.
Evidence with every ban
A screenshot and a video with every ban, plus OCR that recognises cheat menus on screen.
Live map
An in-game map with live player locations and activity, so staff can see where trouble starts.
Player lookup
Check a newcomer's history across every server running Electron Anticheat before they cause trouble on yours.
Panel and in-game menu
Add admins in the web panel; revoke bans, spectate and spawn vehicles from the in-game menu. One moderation history.
Dev licence and exports
Test on a staging server first, and hook into your own scripts with exports for bans, media capture and punishments.
Updates and overhead
Detection updates ship often and can apply automatically. Electron puts the overhead at about 0.04 ms.
Detections
Electron lists detections for:
- Aimbot
- Soft aim
- ESP & wallhacks
- Speed modification
- Teleportation
- Noclip
- Super jump
- Invisibility
- God mode
- Vehicle modifiers
- Weapon injection
- Cheat menus
- Explosion exploits
- Spawning exploits
- VPN usage
- Server crash attempts
As with every FiveM anticheat, there's no independent test of how well these work.
Installation
- Download the resource from the Electron dashboard.
- Drop it into your server's
resourcesfolder. - Add it to your
server.cfg. - Restart the server. Electron says most servers are protected within minutes.

FAQ
Does Electron Anticheat work on GTAV Enhanced?
Electron says it supports FiveM on both GTAV Legacy and Enhanced builds. We haven't tested that ourselves.
Is there a free version?
No. There are monthly, quarterly and lifetime plans. Electron does offer a live demo of the web panel and in-game menu.
How many cheaters does it catch?
Nobody knows for sure: there's no independent test of detection rates for any FiveM anticheat. What you can check is the evidence it gives you, and there it's the strongest in our comparison.
Do I still need server-side checks?
Yes. No anticheat can fix a server event that trusts the price the client sends. Read how to build layered protection.
