Both mean „Not in 5mins, now!“ analogously. But this depends on the concrete situation. It is relative to the task that must be done. If it takes years for completion then 5 minutes extend to 5 hours or something like that.
But they are synonyms.

@TomKruse I would add that "unverzüglich" is more polite and formal.
"I would be grateful, if you could take care of this right now." >unverzüglich
"Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn sie sich unverzüglich darum kümmern könnten."
Meanwhile "sofort" carries more urgency.
"Get off the road NOW!" > "sofort"
"Komm sofort von der Straße runter!"
