What to compare in a FiveM CAD

The best FiveM CAD is the one that fits your community's size, workflow, and server setup. Use these questions with any CAD you're evaluating. Here's how PhoenixCAD answers each one.

Cost at your community size
PhoenixCAD Free costs $0 for up to 15 user accounts and 6 departments. PhoenixCAD Premium is $20/month (or $48 quarterly, saving 20%) with unlimited users, departments, patrol servers, and areas of patrol.
Dispatch and MDT workflow
Dispatchers manage calls and units from the CAD. Officers use the MDT for calls, BOLOs, unit lists, and person and vehicle searches.
Livemap
A Livemap is included, so dispatch can follow units across the map in real time.
Framework and script integrations
Purchases include FiveM script integrations, such as framework, bank account, and property system integrations.
Records and reports
Search person and vehicle records, register vehicles through DMV tools, and file Use of Force reports. Officers can request warrants for Legal Services to review, approve, or deny, then serve them, and warrants appear in NCIC searches. With PhoenixCAD Premium, the Custom Report Manager lets you create your own report types and add them to the CAD/MDT.
Departments and access
Whitelist management, department management, and AOP management are built in, alongside an integrated community portal. Self sign-up can be turned off, and admins can always create accounts. With PhoenixCAD Premium, members can log in with their account from your Invision Community website.
Support
Phoenix Development offers phone and ticket support, and Premium adds premium add-on support.
