The short answer
Ceartas and Rulta are both established creator content-protection services. Ceartas leans toward platform DMCA coverage and an enterprise track; Rulta is known for reverse face-search and a large educational library. The right pick depends on where your leaks live (especially Telegram), how each escalates past the first notice, and whether you can verify their removal numbers.
How to compare them (the criteria that matter)
Score any service, these two included, on the same five factors:
- Telegram coverage — does it scan Telegram itself, or only act on links you submit?
- Escalation — what happens after the first notice (host, CDN, payment processor, search de-listing, manual)?
- Verifiable results — can you confirm the removal rate outside their own dashboard?
- Privacy — is the notice filed under the service's name so your identity stays off public records?
- Free scan + price — can you see real leaks before paying, and how does price scale with usernames/seats?

We don't run either company's software, so we report only what their public pricing pages list and flag self-reported numbers as self-reported. Prices and tiers change, so confirm on each provider's current site (Ceartas, Rulta), or run the same free scan on both and compare leak counts. Ceartas also publishes a category ranking on its blog (blog.ceartas.io); like any vendor's own list it ranks itself near the top, so treat it as one input, not a verdict.
Where each tends to fit
- Lean Ceartas if you value platform DMCA coverage and might grow into enterprise needs. Just note that Bing and Yahoo coverage, deepfake removal, and Telegram only start at the VIP tier ($349/mo), and the first month is 50% off (pricing). Check that the creator tier still gets attention as they push enterprise.
- Lean Rulta if reverse face-search is a priority and you want a deep library of educational content. Note that Telegram takedown is link-submission based and only on the top Legend tier ($324/mo), and each plan covers a fixed number of usernames (1 on Pro, 2 on Premier, 4 on Legend) with extras billed monthly (pricing).
A third option to weigh: Fanlock
We built Fanlock because the gap we kept hitting was Telegram. For a lot of adult creators, most leaks live in Telegram channels, not on Google or tube sites. Fanlock scans Telegram itself (public and invite-only), escalates across four tiers and re-files on re-upload, files under its own name so your identity stays private, and starts at $49/mo with a free scan that needs no card. Our Google removals run about 97.5%, which you can confirm in Google's public Transparency Report rather than taking from a dashboard. The honest test: run the same username through all three free scans and compare what each one finds.
FAQ
Is Ceartas or Rulta better for OnlyFans creators?
It depends on where your leaks are and how each handles escalation and Telegram. Both are established; neither is automatically "best." Score them on the five criteria above and run a free scan on each before deciding.
What's the main difference between Ceartas and Rulta?
Broadly, Ceartas emphasizes platform DMCA coverage and has an enterprise track, while Rulta is known for reverse face-search. On both, Telegram removal sits behind the top tiers (Ceartas VIP and Platinum, Rulta Legend), so price that in if Telegram is where your leaks are (Ceartas pricing, Rulta pricing). Features change, so verify on their sites.
How do I compare DMCA services without the marketing spin?
Use a fixed rubric: Telegram coverage, escalation past one notice, verifiable removals, privacy, and a free scan. Score every service the same way instead of trusting testimonials you can't check.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Ceartas and Rulta?
Ceartas starts at $69/mo and Rulta at $109/mo (Ceartas pricing, Rulta pricing); Fanlock starts at $49/mo with a free scan and no card. Price matters less than how many real leaks a service surfaces, which a free scan shows you for free.
