How to Price Your GTA Roleplay Scripts

Pricing is where most new sellers either leave money on the table or scare buyers off entirely. The good news is the FiveM market has clear, observable price bands you can anchor to. The bad news is that price alone won't sell a weak listing, and a number that ignores the 15% Tebex platform fee will quietly eat your margin. This guide gives you the real ranges, a method for positioning your script inside them, and the math you need so the payout matches your expectations.

What FiveM scripts actually sell for

Across active Tebex stores, standard single scripts cluster in the roughly 15 to 30 EUR range. Smaller utility scripts and simple jobs sit lower, around 9 to 18 EUR, while large, polished systems (full police/MDT systems, complex housing, dealerships) routinely reach 40 to 60 EUR. These aren't arbitrary; they reflect how much work a script saves a server owner and how much ongoing support it implies.

Use the market as your anchor, not your ceiling or floor. Find five to ten scripts that do roughly what yours does, note their prices, and position yourself relative to them based on features, polish, framework coverage, and support quality. Undercutting the field by a few euros rarely wins; buyers in this market read a suspiciously low price as a low-quality or leaked script.

• Simple/utility scripts: ~9-18 EUR
• Standard feature scripts: ~15-30 EUR
• Large systems (MDT, housing, dealerships): ~40-60 EUR
• Always price against direct competitors, not the whole catalog

Account for the 15% Tebex fee in your number

FiveM's Tebex platform fee is 15% of each transaction, deducted before gateway fees and taxes. That is higher than Tebex's 5% standard rate for other games, so it materially affects your take-home. On a 20 EUR sale, the platform fee alone is 3 EUR, and payment gateway fees (charged by PayPal, Klarna, etc.) come off on top of that.

Don't try to 'add the fee on top' with an ugly price like 23.45 EUR. Instead, pick a clean, market-appropriate price and accept that your net is roughly 80-83% of gross after platform and gateway fees. If you have a hard target for net revenue per sale, work backwards from it: to net about 17 EUR you need to price near 20-21 EUR.

Bundles, tiers, and discounts that work

Bundles are one of the most effective levers in this market. Packaging related scripts together and discounting the bundle 30-50% versus buying each individually raises your average order value while feeling like a deal to the buyer. A common pattern is a themed bundle (an entire 'criminal jobs' pack, or a 'civilian life' pack) priced well below the sum of its parts.

Tiered pricing (a lite version and a full version, or single-server vs. extended license) lets price-sensitive buyers in cheaply while capturing more from buyers who need everything. Use launch discounts and seasonal sales sparingly and with real deadlines; permanent 'sales' just become your actual price and train buyers to distrust the original number.

Price for value, not for hours spent

Buyers do not care how long your script took to write; they care how much work, risk, and money it saves them. A script that replaces a 200 EUR custom commission, or that prevents a common exploit, can command a premium far above its build time. Conversely, a script that took you a week but duplicates ten free alternatives has almost no pricing power regardless of effort.

This is exactly why an AI-assisted build workflow changes your economics: when the AI writes the Lua while you steer the design, your build time drops, so you can profitably ship more scripts and price each on the value it delivers rather than the hours it cost. PlayDeck teaches both halves, building faster with AI and pricing for the FiveM market, so you can build a catalog instead of agonizing over a single listing.
