Overview

Electron Anticheat is a cloud-based FiveM anticheat made by Electron Services, part of the Belgian company JMBH BV. It launched in 2023 and, by its own account, became the most used FiveM anticheat in the world in 2026. Its live counter shows almost 10,000 protected servers.

The setup is simple: a lightweight resource runs on your server, and everything else happens in a web dashboard. You manage bans, players, settings and monitoring from your browser, from an in-game panel or from your phone. It works independently of your framework, so ESX, QBCore, Qbox, vRP and custom frameworks are all supported.

What sets Electron Anticheat apart is its set of tools for staff. Where most anticheats stop at a detection and a screenshot, Electron Anticheat lets you replay a player's whole session, watch several screens at once with audio and follow every player on a live map.

Detection and protection

Electron Anticheat covers the cheats that hit FiveM servers most often:

  • Aim cheats: aimbot and soft aim
  • Visual cheats: ESP and wallhacks
  • Movement cheats: noclip, teleport, speed hacks and super jump
  • Player cheats: godmode and invisibility
  • Injection: weapon injection and cheat menus
  • Server attacks: explosion exploits and crash attempts
  • Ban evasion: VPN detection

The developer says it ships detection updates every day. A recent example is the Susano menu: since version 2.0.0, anyone who tries to open it is banned instantly. Updates can be applied from the dashboard, so you don't have to download a new version by hand each time.

For developers, the documentation covers security rules, module-based whitelists and exports for querying bans, issuing punishments, capturing media and listening to events. That lets you connect Electron Anticheat to your own admin tools.

Staff tools

Session replay

A visual reconstruction of a player's entire session on your server. Instead of piecing together what happened from chat logs, your staff watch it back. That makes bans easier to justify and appeals quicker to handle. Availability depends on your plan.

Live monitoring

Watch several player screens at the same time, with audio. Staff can confirm a detection while it's happening rather than afterwards.

Live in-game map

An interactive map that shows where every player is and what they're doing. Useful for spotting teleports, groups of cheaters or players in places they shouldn't be.

Player lookup

Look up any player who has joined a server running Electron Anticheat, including their history on other servers. You know who you're dealing with before they cause damage.

In-game panel

Open it with /eac or your own keybind. From there you can clear vehicles, objects and peds, toggle admin tools such as ESP and godmode, copy identifiers, kick, ban or spectate players, swap your ped, spawn vehicles and move yourself into a private routing bucket for testing.

Framework integration

New in 2026: view and manage player data such as inventories and money straight from the dashboard, without joining the server.

Web app

The full dashboard on your phone, with notifications. On Android you install it from your profile settings; on iOS you add the dashboard to your home screen from Safari.

Installation

Installation takes a few minutes:

  1. Buy a licence on the Electron Anticheat website.
  2. Download the latest version of the resource from your dashboard.
  3. Put the ElectronAC folder in your server's resources directory.
  4. Add these lines to your server.cfg and restart the server:
start ElectronAC
add_ace resource.ElectronAC command allow
add_unsafe_child_process_permission ElectronAC
Good to know: the last two lines let the resource run server commands and start processes on your host. Ask the developer what it uses them for, and know what you're allowing.

For test servers there's a development licence on selected plans, and licences are locked to your server's IP. The documentation also explains how to whitelist players, block players and set up the admin menu.

Pricing

According to Electron Anticheat's own comparison page, the first year costs €149.99. There are monthly, quarterly and lifetime plans, all including VAT. The plan prices on the homepage only appear after you create an account, so check the exact amounts there before you buy.

You can try the web panel and the in-game menu in a live demo without an account.

Our verdict

Strengths

  • Calls itself the most popular FiveM anticheat; its live counter shows 9,988 servers, 3.4 million players and 478,000 bans, the most bans of any figure we found
  • €149.99 for the first year, which undercuts most subscriptions in this comparison
  • Session replay turns a detection into a ban you can back up
  • According to the developer, ready for both Legacy and Enhanced
  • A dev licence on selected plans, so you can test configs first
  • Free community tools such as a JOAAT converter, a profiler viewer and a FiveM status page

Watch out for

  • The pricing section on the homepage only shows prices after signing up; the €149.99 figure comes from Electron Anticheat's comparison page
  • Electron Anticheat's own comparison table lists features and prices for competitors that differ from what those competitors publish. Check their own sites before deciding
  • A player lookup shared across servers calls for clear privacy agreements (GDPR)
  • Installation asks for add_unsafe_child_process_permission and command rights (add_ace resource.ElectronAC command allow). Know what you're allowing
  • The figures (0.04 ms, 6,000+ customers, almost 10,000 servers) come from the developer itself

Who it's for: Servers that want detection and moderation in one package, with visual evidence for every ban.

Frequently asked questions

Is Electron Anticheat the most used FiveM anticheat?

Electron Anticheat says it became the most used FiveM anticheat worldwide in 2026, and its live counter shows 9,988 protected servers. There's no independent count of anticheat installs, so figures from different developers can't be compared directly.

Does it work with my framework?

Yes. It runs independently of your framework, so ESX, QBCore, Qbox, vRP and custom frameworks all work.

Does it support FiveM for GTA V Enhanced?

According to the developer, yes. It supports both Legacy and Enhanced, and says it was the first anticheat to fully support Enhanced.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes. There's a live demo of the web panel and the in-game menu on the Electron Anticheat website.

Can I use it on a test server?

Selected plans include a development licence for a test or staging server.

Will it slow down my server?

The developer cites around 0.04 ms of overhead. Nobody has measured that independently, so check resmon on your own server.

What support is there?

24/7 support through Discord, plus documentation with installation guides, exports and troubleshooting.
