TruthfulAC plans
- FreeFree
Pick Shard if…
Shard suits Minecraft server operators using Paper or Folia who want cloud-based combat-cheat detection and centralized server statistics. The free plan is listed for one server and up to 10 players online; larger server and player limits are available on paid plans.
Pick TruthfulAC if…
TruthfulAC may interest self-hosted Minecraft server operators looking for an open-source anti-cheat project. Its current false-flag warning makes it a poor fit for operators seeking a version recommended for use.
