Ceartas and Rulta are two of the most recognized names creators run into when researching content protection and DMCA takedown services. Both have been around for years, both serve thousands of creators, and both show up constantly in the same "which service should I use" threads. Here's how they actually differ.
Company snapshot
Ceartas is a Dublin-based platform founded in 2021, now employing around 75 people, with direct partnerships across Google, OnlyFans, and TikTok. It started as a free service fighting non-consensual intimate imagery before expanding into a broader AI-driven brand and copyright protection platform.
Rulta is built specifically around the creator economy, combining a software team with copyright specialists to run scanning and takedown operations across social platforms, tube sites, and search engines.
Pricing
Ceartas' pricing is tiered, generally starting around $99/month, scaling based on coverage and enforcement level. Rulta's standard plan sits around $109/month, with premium and top-tier plans priced higher to unlock social media impersonation removal and Telegram-specific enforcement.
Neither is positioned as a budget option — both are built for creators ready to pay for full-service enforcement rather than DIY monitoring.
Detection and coverage
| Ceartas | Rulta | |
|---|---|---|
| Detection method | AI-driven, real-time web monitoring | Facial recognition + 24/7 scanning |
| Site coverage | Search engines, marketplaces, social platforms | 72,000+ websites |
| De-indexing | Yes, ~98% success rate on Google | Yes, via Google TCRP partnership |
| Social media impersonation | Included | Premium/Legend tiers only |
| Telegram leak removal | Not a specific feature | Legend plan only |
Enforcement scope
Ceartas markets itself as a full brand-protection platform — piracy, impersonation, deepfakes, counterfeit listings, and copyright infringement in one system, aimed at creators, talent agencies, and enterprises alike. Rulta is more narrowly focused on creator content specifically, with invisible subscriber-specific watermarking as a distinguishing feature for tracing leaks back to their source.
Both partner directly with Google's Trusted Copyright Removal Program
Direct platform relationships matter more than most creators realize — TCRP membership means de-indexing requests get processed faster and with fewer manual reviews than a standard DMCA request submitted cold.
Reviews and reputation
Both platforms carry strong review scores overall. Ceartas is frequently praised for de-indexing speed and coverage breadth; Rulta earns consistent praise for customer service responsiveness and detailed daily reporting, alongside a smaller number of complaints about takedown thoroughness on lower-tier plans.
Which one should you pick?
If you need enterprise-scale brand protection spanning impersonation and counterfeit listings across multiple platforms and creators, Ceartas' broader scope is the better fit. If you're an individual creator focused specifically on leaked content and want granular tools like subscriber-level watermarking, Rulta's creator-first design is closer to what you need.
For creators who want a lower-cost entry point with deepfake detection built in from day one — rather than layered on as an enterprise add-on — it's worth comparing both of these against Noticeora directly.
