Easiest path
One import. One inventory door. Diff tables for QB / ESX / vRP. Remount scripts — don’t babysit five bridges.
Compare
FiveM framework comparison for GTA V roleplay cities. Atlas isn’t another coat of paint on QB or ESX — native foundation, one inventory door, one migrate path. See also the FAQ.

One Framework. Every Ecosystem.
Core hub → arrival → daily loop → staff → verticals. Competitors assemble this from packs. Atlas ships it as one stack.
One import. One inventory door. Diff tables for QB / ESX / vRP. Remount scripts — don’t babysit five bridges.
Core → multichar → spawn → HUD → inventory → admin → phone → garages. Same champagne leaf language. Same contracts.
Identity, money, jobs, permissions, AutoSQL, health commands, locales hub — shipped as one stack you own, not a weekend dump.
