For a FiveM server the choice is made for you: Cfx.re's Tebex page calls Tebex "the exclusive monetization partner of FiveM" and says "The use of any other platform or payment provider is prohibited". Stripe only fits payments that are not FiveM monetization. Fees as listed in Tebex's docs on 30 October 2026.
