Quick Answer
If you're a small server (under 50 concurrent players) just getting started, Agency Basic covers the essentials at a fraction of the cost. If you're running 100+ players, planning to grow, or want zero friction on trying new scripts, Agency Business pays for itself by eliminating per-script purchasing decisions.
What Basic Actually Includes
Agency Basic ships with Agency-Seatbelt, Agency-Repairkit, and a standard Agency-Loadingscreen. These are the scripts we consider the bare minimum for a server that takes presentation seriously. Basic is designed as a starter bundle — easy entry, low commitment, enough polish to look professional from day one.
What Business Adds
Business unlocks the full Agency catalogue: Agency-Phone, Agency-Pad, Agency-Hud, Agency-Admin, Agency-Blackmarket, every paid script we ship, plus everything new we ship in the future. No per-script decisions, no missed updates, no friction. New scripts arrive in your panel the day they launch.
The Real Economic Break-Even
If you'd end up buying more than 3-4 individual Agency scripts over the course of your server's life, Business is cheaper in aggregate. Most serious server owners hit that threshold within 6 months. Basic makes sense if you specifically want to run minimalist or if you're not sure you'll stick with the server long term.
Upgrading Path
You can upgrade from Basic to Business at any time from your Tebex account. Everything you've already installed under Basic keeps working; the Business upgrade just unlocks everything else instantly. Downgrading is equally smooth — you keep what's installed, you lose the license to install new stuff you haven't already taken.
First-Month Discount
New subscribers can use the code FIRSTMONTH at Tebex checkout for 90% off their first month on either plan. Renewals bill at the regular monthly price. No weird catches — just a meaningful discount to let you try either plan cheaply before committing.
Installation & Setup for Both Plans
Both Agency Basic and Agency Business give you access to scripts through Tebex. After subscribing, your Tebex account dashboard shows all scripts you're entitled to download. Each script is a separate resource with its own installation process — download, drop into your resources directory, add to server.cfg. The subscription grants access; setup is per-script and covered in each script's individual documentation.
License keys are generated automatically in your cfx.re Keymaster account when you subscribe. Agency scripts verify the license on server start, so a valid Keymaster entry for your server's IP is required before scripts run. This is standard for all paid FiveM resources.
Who Should Choose Basic
Agency Basic is the right choice if any of these apply to your situation:
- You're starting a new server and aren't sure how long you'll operate it.
- You have under 50 concurrent players and the included scripts cover your current needs.
- You prefer to evaluate specific premium scripts individually before committing to a full catalogue subscription.
- Your server has a tight monthly budget and the individual script cost model makes more sense than a flat subscription.
- You're running a thematic server where you specifically don't want the full Agency feature set (some minimalist RP communities deliberately limit scripts).
Who Should Choose Business
Agency Business is the right choice if any of these apply:
- You're running 100+ concurrent players and need the full script quality tier across all systems.
- You've already bought or are planning to buy more than three individual Agency scripts.
- You want to try new Agency scripts as they launch without approving each purchase individually.
- Your server team is large enough that standardizing on one ecosystem saves management overhead.
- You're operating a serious long-term server and want the peace of mind of a complete, coherent script stack.
The Real Economic Math
Agency Basic covers three scripts at a bundled price. Agency Business covers the full catalogue. If you'd realistically use five or more Agency scripts, run the numbers: five individual script licenses purchased over a year versus twelve months of Business. In almost every case Business is cheaper by month six, and you get new scripts for free as they launch — an advantage that compounds over time as we ship more resources.
The caveat: if you use exactly two or three Agency scripts and genuinely don't want more, Basic wins economically. Don't pay for catalogue access to scripts you'll never install.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pause a subscription if my server goes offline for a month?
Tebex subscriptions can be cancelled and restarted. There's no "pause" button, but cancelling stops billing immediately and re-subscribing at the same tier restores full access. Installed scripts keep running as long as your server has a valid Keymaster entry — Keymaster verification happens on server start, not every minute. A brief lapse in subscription billing while the server is offline has no immediate effect on running resources.
Does Basic include future script releases?
No. Basic locks in the current three included scripts. Any new Agency scripts we ship are available as individual purchases on Basic, or are included automatically for Business subscribers. This is a deliberate design: Business is the "worry-free" tier; Basic is the "choose what you need" tier.
What happens to installed scripts if I cancel?
Installed scripts continue to function until Keymaster verification fails. Verification typically checks on server start and can be cached for a period. For planning purposes, assume scripts stop working within 24 hours of subscription cancellation on a running server. Your data (player records, logs, progression) in your own database is unaffected — the database stays yours regardless of subscription status.
Is there a trial period for Business?
The FIRSTMONTH code effectively makes the first month a low-risk trial at 90% discount. Use it to install and evaluate the full catalogue on your development server before committing to the regular monthly price. If it doesn't fit your server, cancel before the second billing date with no significant cost.
Can I buy individual scripts without a subscription?
Yes. Every Agency script can be purchased as a standalone one-time license separate from the subscription plans. Individual licenses don't receive update access after the first year, and the per-script cost is higher than the equivalent subscription slice. Subscriptions are the better deal for servers that update regularly; one-time licenses are for servers that want a specific script and plan to run it without updates.
Summary Table
- Agency Basic — Seatbelt, Repairkit, Loadingscreen. Fixed bundle, low entry cost. Right for small or early-stage servers.
- Agency Business — Full catalogue, all future scripts. Higher monthly cost, better long-term economics for servers using 4+ scripts. Right for established or growing servers.
- Individual licenses — Per-script purchase, one-time cost, no automatic updates after year one. Right for one-offs.
