BlackGuard vs Fiveuxe
Fiveuxe is the feature-maximal premium option — 27 modules, live screen capture, an AI "SENTINEL" co-pilot, and an always-on "Hive-Mind" global ban network across 100+ servers, from $39/mo (or $149/yr, $229 lifetime). BlackGuard takes the opposite, transparent approach: server-side detection, flag-first on the gray areas, and a cross-server ban network that's opt-in and off by default — from $20/mo, cancel anytime, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Notably, neither product uses a kernel driver.

| Kernel-level driver | None | None (their own claim) |
| Live player-screen monitoring | No — server-side signals only | Yes — live screen capture |
| Cross-server bans | Opt-in · off by default · account-matched · reversible | Hive-Mind · always on · 100+ servers |
| Starting price | $20/mo (cancel anytime) | $39/mo (or $149/yr · $229 lifetime) |
Where BlackGuard wins
- Transparent, consent-based cross-server bans. BlackGuard's network is opt-in and off by default; only physically-impossible auto-bans (speed/teleport/impossible-damage) propagate, matched by account never hardware, and a single revoke clears a player everywhere. Fiveuxe's Hive-Mind is always-on and raises risk scores across servers automatically — powerful, but you don't decide whether other servers' calls touch your players.
- Server-side, not screen-watching. BlackGuard reads gameplay, position and damage on the server — nothing streams off your players' machines. Fiveuxe markets live screen capture and real-time player streams; that's more visibility for staff, but it's surveillance some communities won't want.
- Flag-first on the gray areas. Unknown resource injection and economy anomalies (ESX/QBCore) are flagged for your review, not auto-banned — so a real player is never banned on a soft signal.
- Lower monthly entry, no lock-in. $20/mo with no annual prepay required, a 7-day trial, and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Fiveuxe's cheap headline numbers ($149/yr, $229 lifetime) need an annual or lifetime commitment; its true monthly is $39.
Where Fiveuxe is strong
Raw feature density and an aggressive, always-on global network. 27 modules, live screen capture for hands-on staff monitoring, an AI "SENTINEL" co-pilot, and a 100+ server Hive-Mind where a ban anywhere instantly raises risk scores everywhere. If you want maximum surveillance and a large automatic ban-sharing web — and you're comfortable prepaying annually or buying lifetime — Fiveuxe is built for exactly that.
Bottom line. Want transparent, server-side protection with a consent-based cross-server network and a low monthly entry you can cancel anytime? BlackGuard. Want maximal feature density, live screen monitoring, and an always-on global ban web? Fiveuxe.
Frequently asked questions
Is Fiveuxe better than BlackGuard?
They're built on opposite philosophies. Fiveuxe is maximal — 27 modules, live screen capture, and an always-on global ban network — at $39/mo (or $149/yr). BlackGuard is transparent and consent-based — server-side detection, flag-first on soft signals, and a cross-server ban network that's opt-in and off by default — at $20/mo with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you want maximum surveillance and feature count, Fiveuxe; if you want control, transparency, and a low monthly commitment, BlackGuard.
Does Fiveuxe use a kernel-level driver?
No. Fiveuxe states it uses no kernel driver and no client install, and BlackGuard is server-side as well — so neither product installs a kernel-mode driver on your players' machines. The real difference is what each does instead: Fiveuxe adds live screen capture and a real-time player stream; BlackGuard stays on server-side telemetry.
How much does Fiveuxe cost compared to BlackGuard?
Fiveuxe is $39/mo, $99/quarter, $149/year, or $229 lifetime. BlackGuard Starter is $20/mo with no annual prepay required, a 7-day free trial, and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Fiveuxe's annual and lifetime options can work out cheaper per month if you prepay long-term; BlackGuard is the lower-commitment monthly option.
How do the two cross-server ban networks differ?
Fiveuxe's Hive-Mind is always on and propagates risk scores across 100+ servers automatically. BlackGuard's network is opt-in and off by default; when you enable it, only deterministic auto-bans — speed, teleport, impossible damage — propagate, matched by account and never by hardware, and one revoke clears the player everywhere. BlackGuard's network raises the cost of cheating without taking control away from you; it does not claim to block every cheater everywhere.
Does BlackGuard watch my players' screens?
No. BlackGuard's live detection runs on the server from gameplay, position and damage signals — nothing is streamed off a player's machine for staff to watch. Fiveuxe markets live screen capture and real-time player streams; BlackGuard intentionally stays server-side.
