Rulta and Ceartas both monitor the web for a creator's leaked or stolen content and send removal notices on the creator's behalf, but their published plans are built differently. Rulta prices by username, from $139 a month for one username to $324 for four, and keeps Telegram takedowns for its top Legend plan. Ceartas prices per creator with unlimited usernames on every plan, from $69 a month, and lists Telegram removals from its VIP plan at $349. Manual submission limits, refund terms and promotions also differ. We have not tested either service, so treat this as a map of what each one sells and run a short trial before committing.
Everything below comes from each company's pricing, help and terms pages, read on 2 October 2026. If you want to file notices yourself, our takedown evidence pack covers the evidence and wording; this page is only about choosing between these two paid services.
Dated side-by-side matrix
Both pricing pages showed prices with a dollar sign and no currency code, and both offer cheaper yearly billing. Confirm the currency and total at checkout.

Per username or per creator: which billing suits you
The billing unit can matter more than the headline price. If you run one main handle, Rulta's single-username Pro plan and Ceartas's per-creator Star plan cover the same ground on paper, and the difference is in what each tier includes. If you use several handles across platforms, Rulta's price climbs with each username band, while Ceartas lists unlimited usernames for one creator at every tier.
Rulta adds a second limit worth knowing. Its help article on adding search terms says each registered username is scanned for up to 28 search terms a day, shared across default and custom terms, and that adding too many custom terms can reduce scanning efficiency. Choose the terms people actually use to find leaked copies of your content, such as handle variations and misspellings, rather than adding every word you can think of.
Telegram is the other deciding row. If your leaks spread mainly through Telegram channels, you are comparing Rulta Legend at $324 with Ceartas VIP at $349, not the entry plans.
Contracts, refunds and promotions
Read the terms before the first payment, because both companies limit refunds.
- Rulta's terms of service (last updated 18 August 2026) let you cancel or pause from your dashboard, through the cancellation link its payment provider Paddle emails you, or through live chat, with access until the end of the billing period. Payments are non-refundable except that annual plans may be considered for a partial refund if you ask within 5 days of purchase, at Rulta's discretion; monthly and three-month plans are generally not refundable. After cancelling, you are responsible for removing any Rulta badges from your own sites.
- Ceartas's terms of service (last updated 11 June 2026) say subscriptions renew automatically, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term, and all purchases are non-refundable. Its promotional terms add that a discount applies only to the initial term unless the promotion says otherwise, and that the subscription then renews at the standard price.
In practice, the half-price first month at Ceartas is followed by the full monthly rate, and you should check whether Rulta's three-day trial rolls into a paid plan when it ends. Put the renewal date in your calendar on the day you sign up.
Anonymity and verification
Both companies list anonymity as a feature, and Rulta's terms describe it acting on your behalf as an authorised agent, which is the arrangement that lets the service send notices for you; ask each vendor exactly which of your details a notice discloses. Either way, both need to confirm who you are first. Rulta's terms say it may verify your identity, ownership of the content, authority, account control and age, and may ask you to sign authorisations or declarations before providing a service. Ceartas's terms require users to be the copyright holder or an authorised representative and prohibit takedown requests for content they do not own or control.
Expect to upload identification and proof that the content is yours, and ask each company how it stores that information and who sees it. If you work with a manager or agency, confirm in writing who is authorised to submit requests for your accounts.
Questions to ask Rulta or Ceartas before you sign
The pricing pages leave some practical questions open. Ask each company these in writing and keep the replies with your account records:
- Can you protect your own legitimate copies? Rulta lists whitelisting control on every plan, which matters if you have promotional pages, affiliates or reposts you approved. Ceartas's pricing page does not mention an equivalent, so ask how it avoids flagging content you posted yourself.
- Which platforms and sites will it file with, and which does it treat as out of reach?
- Does the plan you are considering include fake profiles using your name, or only copies of your content?
- What does a report show: each URL, the date a notice was sent and its current status?
- Can you export your full takedown history if you leave, so another service or a lawyer can pick up where it stopped?
- How are your identity documents stored, for how long, and who on the team can see them?
- If a manager helps run your accounts, can they get their own login rather than sharing yours?
Trial test plan
The only fair comparison is one you run on your own content. Test one service at a time so the results are not mixed up.
- Before you sign up, build a baseline list of known leak URLs: search results, websites, social posts and Telegram channels, each with the date you found it.
- Pick the plan that matches where your leaks are; testing an entry plan tells you nothing about Telegram if that tier excludes it.
- Register every username and the search terms people use to find your content, within the vendor's limits.
- Submit a fixed sample of your baseline URLs as manual requests, staying inside the daily or monthly cap for your plan.
- Recheck each URL after a week and again after a month, and record whether it is gone, delisted from search or still live.
- Search Google's copyright transparency report for the vendor as a reporting organisation to see whether delisting requests are being filed in its name.
- Read the vendor's reports and note any new URLs it found that were not on your baseline list.
- Ask support one specific question during the trial, and note how clearly it is answered.
- Decide before the renewal date, then cancel through the method the terms describe if you are not continuing.
- Keep your baseline sheet; it becomes the evidence for any later complaint or for a do-it-yourself notice.
Limitations of this leak removal comparison
This compares published plans only. We have not used either service, so nothing here says how quickly or how often either removes content, and both companies' customer quotes are marketing rather than evidence. Plans, caps and prices were read on 2 October 2026 and change; the terms you accept at checkout are what bind you. No service can force every site to comply, particularly sites outside the reach of the laws a notice relies on.
A paid service is not a substitute for official help. In Australia, eSafety's image-based abuse page says it can help have intimate content removed when someone shares or threatens to share it without consent, and advises not to pay anyone who is blackmailing you. If you are being threatened, contact police. Our Australian leak response plan sets out the order of steps, and fake profiles using your name can be reported through the process in our guide to reporting an Instagram impersonation account. For legal action against a site or person, speak to a lawyer who handles copyright or privacy matters.
