How “Telegram coverage” works at each service

Most services that list Telegram coverage describe it as taking down channels you find and submit to them. That's reactive coverage. Useful only if you already know which channels are leaking your content.

Based on each service's published feature list:

• Rulta Legend ($324/mo). Submit Telegram channel links to your dashboard. Rulta files takedowns.
• Ceartas VIP ($349/mo). Same pattern. Submit links, they file takedowns.
• Bruqi Top 1% ($249/mo). Same pattern, with limited platform integration.
• BranditScan. No Telegram tier listed publicly.
• Fanlock Max ($199/mo). Proactive scanning of 11M+ Telegram channels and 60B+ messages, plus reactive takedowns on submitted links. You give us stage names. We find the channels.

Most creators don't know which Telegram channels are leaking their content. That's the gap proactive scanning closes.

1. Fanlock — Proactive Telegram scanning at $199/mo with three-track enforcement

Proactive Telegram scanning at $199/mo with three-track enforcement

Starting price: $49/mo (Basic), $99/mo (Pro), $199/mo (Max). Founded: 2024.

Built by content creator Morgpie after she got tired of paying competitors that couldn't actually remove her leaked content. Fanlock's Max tier ($199/mo) advertises proactive scanning of 11M+ Telegram channels and 60B+ messages, plus reactive takedowns on submitted links. It runs three-track Telegram enforcement: formal DMCA, Apple App Store IP policy filings, and systematic abuse reports. Published Telegram removal rate is 99%+ within 60 days on clear-cut cases. Published Google delist rate is 95%. Free scan first. No selfie until you decide to move forward.

Pros

• Free pre-signup scan
• Proactive Telegram scanning included on Max tier
• Three-track Telegram enforcement
• Founded by a creator
• 4.4 / 5 on Trustpilot at the time of writing
• Agency tooling with dedicated team channels
• Telegram tier at $199, lower than Rulta's $324 or Ceartas's $349

Cons

• Newer to market (founded 2024)
• Telegram coverage requires Max tier
• Basic tier doesn't cover social media

2. Ceartas — Sidemen-backed DMCA service with 5-day free trial

Sidemen-backed DMCA service with 5-day free trial

Starting price: $69/mo. Telegram at $349/mo VIP tier. Founded: 2020.

Raised €4M in 2024 with backing from Sidemen, with public press coverage in Bloomberg and Silicon Republic. Currently advertises a 5-day free trial on the homepage. Telegram coverage is locked to VIP tier ($349/mo) and is reactive (submit channel links).

Why this score

Highest non-Fanlock score (24/30). The Sidemen-led €4M funding round and operational scale support a Speed of 4/5. The 5-day free trial is the strongest pre-payment access option we found outside Fanlock's free scan, which gets a 5/5 on the Free trial criterion. Telegram is held back by reactive-only coverage at the $349/mo VIP tier (3/5).

Pros

• 5-day free trial
• Well-funded
• Sidemen backing
• Strong press coverage

Cons

• Telegram coverage requires VIP tier ($349/mo) and is reactive only
• Selfie and document upload required before scanning

3. Rulta — Face recognition DMCA service with reactive Telegram at $324/mo

Face recognition DMCA service with reactive Telegram at $324/mo

Starting price: $109/mo. Telegram at $324/mo Legend tier. Founded: 2019.

The most established creator-focused platform on the list. Advertises face recognition technology across all tiers. Telegram coverage is locked to the $324/mo Legend tier and is reactive (submit channel links).

Why this score

22/30. Six-plus years of operation and a long, public testimonial trail support a Speed of 4/5. Pricing scores 5/5 because all tiers are public. Free trial drops to 3/5 because the homepage handle search is the only pre-signup access; there's no full free trial. Telegram is reactive at the top tier (3/5).

Pros

• Face recognition advertised across all tiers
• Established product with 6+ years of operation
• Hundreds of customer testimonials on their pricing page
• Customer service consistently praised in reviews

Cons

• Telegram coverage requires Legend tier ($324/mo)
• Telegram coverage is reactive only
• Username limits per plan (1 / 2 / 4)
• Submission limits on lower tiers

4. BranditScan — AI scan service for creators, no Telegram tier listed

AI scan service for creators, no Telegram tier listed publicly

Starting price: $69/mo (Premium), $149/mo (White Glove). Founded: 2020.

Markets facial recognition and AI detection as Premium features. No Telegram tier listed on their public pricing page at the time of writing. Detection scope listed as Google search results, X, Instagram, and Reddit.

Why this score

20/30. Detection scores 4/5 because of the Google TCRP Partner badge, AI scanning across multiple platforms, and the “Scan My Leaks for Free” CTA on the homepage. Onboarding and Free trial both score 4/5 for the same reason: low-friction scan-first flow. The single biggest deduction is Telegram (1/5) because no Telegram tier is publicly listed.

Pros

• Cheapest entry tier among the established creator-focused services ($69/mo)
• Fast initial scan (advertised at 48 seconds)
• White Glove tier ($149/mo) adds dedicated concierge support
• Google TCRP Partner badge

Cons

• No Telegram tier on public pricing
• Detection scope on public page does not include Telegram or file hosts

5. Bruqi — Freemium DMCA monitoring with $29 starter tier

Freemium DMCA monitoring with $29 starter tier

Starting price: Free DIY tier, $29/mo Starter. Telegram at $249/mo Top 1% tier. Founded: 2021.

The most aggressive freemium positioning in the category. Free DIY tier plus a $29/mo Starter. Smaller team, EU-focused.

Why this score

19/30. Pricing transparency is excellent (5/5) and the freemium tier helps Onboarding (4/5). Detection (2/5) and Speed (2/5) are scored lower because of smaller operational scale relative to Rulta, Ceartas, and BranditScan. Telegram coverage exists at the $249/mo Top 1% tier but is reactive with limited platform integration (3/5).

Pros

• Free DIY tier (basic monitoring)
• Cheapest paid entry ($29/mo)
• Strong technical content

Cons

• Telegram coverage requires Top 1% tier ($249/mo) and is limited
• Most Pro features locked to higher tiers
• Smaller team
• No US-specific support hours

6. DMCA.com — Established web-only DMCA service from $10/mo

Established web-only DMCA service from $10/mo

Starting price: $10/mo (Pro tier). Founded: 2010.

The cheapest established option. Coverage is limited to web takedowns. No Telegram or social impersonation tier listed publicly. Better suited for businesses dealing with website-based infringement than creators dealing with leaked content.

Why this score

17/30. Pricing transparency (5/5) and a free Basic tier (4/5) carry the score. Detection scores 1/5 because coverage is web-only with no social, file host, or Telegram tier publicly listed, which is the lowest end of our Detection rubric.

Pros

• Cheapest established option
• Long-running platform
• Free Basic tier

Cons

• Web-only coverage
• No Telegram or social media impersonation tier listed
• Not built for creator economy

7. Onsist — Established brand protection, sales-led pricing

Established brand protection, sales-led pricing

Starting price: Custom (sales-led). Founded: 2018.

One of the larger content protection platforms by traffic and ranks for many head terms in this category. Serves a broader range of clients (brands, music labels, gaming) beyond creators specifically. Pricing is now custom-quote only, with no public plans.

Why this score

14/30. Detection is solid at 4/5 because of broad platform coverage. The main drag on the total is transparency: Pricing scores 1/5 (custom-quote only) and Free trial scores 1/5 (no free pre-signup scan).

Pros

• Established 7+ years
• Broad platform coverage
• Strong SEO presence

Cons

• No public pricing
• Not creator-native (broader client base)
• No free pre-signup scan

8. Erase.com — Reputation management beyond DMCA

Reputation management beyond DMCA

Starting price: Custom (typically $200+/mo). Founded: 2017.

Positions as reputation management. Broader than DMCA, including review removal, search suppression, and personal information removal.

Why this score

9/30. Erase isn't built for creator DMCA, so almost every criterion in our rubric scores low: no Telegram tier (1/5), sales-led pricing (1/5), no free path (1/5), and friction-heavy onboarding (1/5). Detection (3/5) is the saving grace because of the broader rep-management scope.

Pros

• Broad reputation management
• Institutional credibility
• Scholarship program

Cons

• Not creator-focused
• Higher pricing
• Less DMCA-specific tooling

9. Remove.tech — Enterprise infrastructure for broad infringement removal

Enterprise infrastructure for broad infringement removal

Starting price: Custom. Founded: 2019.

Serves a wide range of clients beyond creators. Limited creator-specific features.

Why this score

8/30. Lowest score in the comparison. Strong on engineering but weak on every creator-specific dimension we measure: no public pricing (1/5), no free path (1/5), sales-led onboarding (1/5), no Telegram tier (1/5), and Detection limited to enterprise scope rather than creator scope (2/5).

Pros

• Enterprise infrastructure
• Wide platform coverage

Cons

• Not creator-native
• Custom pricing makes evaluation hard
• Limited Telegram focus

10 to 18. Other services worth knowing

Less detail on these because their public pricing or feature pages don't give us enough to write meaningfully. If any of them ship a Telegram tier or major capability change, we'll add detail.

• Leakless.io. Newer entrant (2025), pure content play, ranking well despite a small backlink profile.
• OnlyGuard. Established creator-focused service, smaller scale.
• DMCA Force. Web-focused, similar to DMCA.com with creator economy positioning.
• Takedown Piracy. Older service (since 2009), broader piracy focus.
• Sidenty. UK-based, creator economy positioning, smaller scale.
• Cam Model Protection. Niche service for cam models.
• LeakShield. Newer, content protection positioning.
• LeakServ. Web takedown service.
• OnlyStack. Newer entrant, creator economy focus.

How to actually pick

Three questions that should drive the decision:

1. Where are your leaks actually distributed?
If most of your leaks are on Telegram (true for most OnlyFans and Fansly creators), prioritize a service with proactive Telegram scanning. Reactive Telegram coverage at competitors only helps if you already know which channels are leaking your content.

2. Do you want results before paying?
Free pre-signup scans let you verify what each service can find for your situation before committing. Fanlock offers one. Bruqi has a free DIY tier. Ceartas has a 5-day trial. Most others don't.

3. How much friction are you willing to accept at signup?
Some services require selfie verification, document uploads, and manual approval before scanning starts. Others let you scan first and verify only when you're ready to file takedowns under your name.

What none of these services do perfectly

Honest broker section. Including Fanlock:

No service prevents the original leak.Once content is shared with subscribers, leak risk exists. DMCA services react to leaks. They don't prevent them.

No service guarantees 100% removal forever.Re-uploads happen. Channels rebuild. Continuous re-detection helps. It doesn't eliminate the problem.

No service handles every platform equally well. Telegram, Discord, and dark web sources are harder than mainstream platforms.

How to test any service before committing

1. Run their free scan if available.
2. Compare leak counts. Services finding 10x more leaks aren't lucky. They're scanning differently.
3. Ask for published methodology.
4. Check Trustpilot or G2 review patterns. Bimodal distributions can signal incentivized reviews.
