Privly
Best for: One flat fee, and no unit to multiply. $49 a month for all platforms and all content with no per-username surcharge. The most direct structural answer to per-creator pricing, with zero public reviews to check it against.
Pricing reality: Free Trial: $0/mo for 7 days, 1 scan, up to 3 uploads. Creator Protection: $49/mo for All platforms, all content. Platform Offboarding: $499 one-time for Concierge, 12 months of cover. Copyright Registration: $299 one-time for Optional add-on.
What it does better: The flattest published price in this comparison for a full-service plan: $49/mo, in Privly's words "Same plan, every feature, no per-username surcharge, no hidden tiers".
What makes people leave: No public review record at all: Privly's Trustpilot profile carries zero reviews, so there is no third-party evidence to weigh in either direction. openDMCA is in the same position and says so. trustpilot.com on Privly
Verdict: The trial caps at one scan and three uploads. The paid plan publishes no username, platform or volume cap at all — Privly's own line is "All platforms · All content · One flat fee".
Bruqi
Best for: All usernames from $29. Every paid tier covers all usernames, so adding a name changes nothing. The lowest price here, and the weakest review distribution at 3.7 from 48.
Pricing reality: DIY: $0/mo for Manual removals only. Side Hustle: $29/mo for All usernames. Creator Pro: $99/mo for All usernames. Top 1%: $249/mo for All usernames.
What it does better: Every paid tier covers all usernames at one price, starting at $29/mo — the flattest pricing model of the five competitors compared here.
What makes people leave: The recurring complaint is de-listing counted as removal, with the file left hosted. In a reviewer's own words: they say 399 links are delisted but when i google them they still come up (even in a new browser or incognito mode) no images have been removed from google images and it's been days. trustpilot.com on Bruqi
Verdict: Automatic removal is not part of the free tier. Scan frequency, not username count, is what separates the paid tiers: weekly on Side Hustle, daily on Creator Pro, hourly on Top 1%.
BranditScan
Best for: Three stagenames at $69, unlimited at $149. White Glove's unlimited stagenames at $149 is a flat ceiling rather than a multiplier, though it is sold as one creator's plan rather than as a roster product.
Pricing reality: Premium: $69/mo for 3 stagenames. Premium (annual): $690/yr for 3 stagenames. White Glove: $149/mo for Unlimited stagenames. White Glove (annual): $1490/yr for Unlimited stagenames.
What it does better: Three stage names are included in the $69/mo entry plan, where a per-username competitor would charge for each.
What makes people leave: The most detailed negative review describes de-listing standing in for removal, and manual submissions going unactioned. In a reviewer's own words: All they do is get the links delisted from Google, since 90% of the content isn't actually removed. Most of the links found are to blank pages… Plus, manual submissions are usually ignored, whether they're fake social media accounts or leaked videos on various forums. trustpilot.com on BranditScan
Verdict: Premium covers three stagenames; more than three requires White Glove at $149/mo. Both tiers advertise the same core feature set — White Glove buys stagenames, a concierge and more aggressive scanning rather than new capability. Telegram is not named anywhere on BranditScan's pricing page or its benefits page; the published social surfaces are Instagram, X and Reddit.
Rulta
Best for: Multiplies too, but negotiable. Per-username tiers to four names, with agency discounts advertised up to 50% behind a booked call. Not a structural fix, but the only vendor here that publicly invites the roster conversation.
Pricing reality: Pro: $139/mo for 1 username. Premier: $184/mo for 2 usernames. Legend: $324/mo for 4 usernames.
What it does better: Rulta states it is "Google's Trusted Copyright Partner" and cites Google's public Transparency Report for a claimed 200,000,000+ links reported.
What makes people leave: Price scales with stage names, not with usage. One username is $139/mo; four is $324/mo. A creator who adds a second name pays 32% more for the same leaks. rulta.com on Rulta
Verdict: Plans stop at four usernames. Telegram takedown, copyright registration and reverse image search appear only on Legend, the $324/mo tier. Submission volume is capped below Legend.
The objections worth taking seriously
- Will the charge match the price on the page, and can I actually cancel?
- Every openDMCA price on the pricing page is read from the same config that drives Stripe checkout, so the number you read is the number you are charged. Cancellation is self-serve from the dashboard, with no retention call and no ticket. The openDMCA cancellation and refund terms
- Does any of this work, or is it emails into a void?
- Some hosts never comply, and openDMCA does not pretend otherwise. Instead it measures each host's removal rate over 90 days and fast-paths hosts below 25% compliance, with at least five resolved samples, straight to search de-listing rather than burning two email rounds on them. The manual version of the same process, published in full
- Will it file notices against my own pages or my collab partners?
- Your own domains are excluded in openDMCA before a notice is generated, not apologised for afterwards. Whitelisting runs at scan time, so an authorised URL never reaches the takedown queue at all — which is the difference between a filter and a support ticket. How openDMCA separates your official pages from the leaks
Do the multiplication on paper, then start every conversation with that number
This decision is arithmetic and it is worth doing before you talk to any salesperson, including one selling openDMCA.
Write your roster count at the top of the page. Then multiply: Ceartas Star is $69 per creator, so five creators is $345 a month and ten is $690. Elite at $169 is $845 and $1,690. That is the number every alternative has to beat, and it is the number to open a negotiation with rather than a feature list.
Then price the same roster on each alternative. Privly publishes one $49 plan for all platforms and all content but nothing about multiple creators, so ask directly whether one subscription covers a team. Bruqi covers all usernames from $29 with no roster plan published. BranditScan's White Glove covers unlimited stagenames at $149 but is sold as one creator's plan. Rulta advertises agency discounts up to 50% behind a call. openDMCA Agency publishes $229 a month with ten creators included and $15 a month per creator beyond that, and Pro covers three at $89.
Ask the same three questions everywhere, in writing. Does one subscription cover multiple creators, and how many. How many people can log in, and can a creator be scoped to only her own results. Is there a read-only API. None of these is on a pricing page and all three decide whether a roster is workable.
Then time the move. Ceartas purchases are non-refundable, so cancel a few days before a renewal rather than mid-cycle, and export your manual submission list by hand first — no takedown-history export is published. The full sequence is at how to migrate from Ceartas, and the tier-by-tier numbers are at Ceartas's published ladder.
Why per-creator pricing is coherent and why openDMCA prices against it anyway
Per-creator pricing assumes the cost of protecting the tenth creator equals the cost of protecting the first. If that were true it would be the fair model and Ceartas would be the honest vendor in this comparison. It is worth being specific about why openDMCA thinks it is not.
Scanning scales linearly — ten creators is ten scans. Routing does not. openDMCA routes every infringing URL through the Removal Graph — a live map of which hosts actually remove content, how fast, and through which channel — so each takedown takes the shortest path that has historically worked for that host. Ten creators on one roster are leaked to overwhelmingly the same hosts, and the expensive step is resolving a host to a working abuse channel and deciding which channel to use. That resolution is cached across every customer, so the tenth creator's leak on a known host costs almost nothing to route.
The saving compounds at roster scale rather than shrinking. A host whose 90-day removal rate sits below 25% across at least five resolved samples is fast-pathed to search de-listing rather than absorbing two email rounds per creator — twenty wasted rounds across a roster of ten instead of two. That is the argument for bundling creators into a plan, and it is why openDMCA publishes $229 for ten rather than a per-creator rate.
What openDMCA cannot offer a Ceartas customer. A tier above $229 a month, a concierge relationship, uncapped manual submissions as a named product, or any public review record at all — Ceartas has 27 reviews and openDMCA has none. openDMCA's own refund position is also published as generally non-refundable, so that is not a reason to move either.
The estimate below assumes 480 live copies across a five-creator roster.
