Rulta
Best for: A creator with one or two stage names who wants an established vendor and is not paying for the top tier.
Pricing reality: Three published tiers, all monthly: Pro $139.00 for one username, Premier $184.00 for two, Legend $324.00 for four. The yearly toggle is labelled two months free, but the per-tier annual figures render only after the toggle is clicked and are not stated here because they were not verified. Worked through: one name is $139, two is $184, three is $324 because Legend is the next tier up, and four is also $324. The worst-value position is exactly three stage names — you pay for a fourth you do not have.
What it does better: Rulta prices honestly against its own cost structure and says so out loud: a creator who posts under three names is leaked under three names, so Rulta scans three times. Most flat-priced competitors never explain why flat pricing works, which makes Rulta's the more falsifiable claim of the two.
What makes people leave: The bill is a function of your identity rather than your leak volume, and the step from two names to three is $140 a month with no capability change attached to it rulta.com on Rulta
Verdict: Fair at one name, expensive at two, and structurally bad at three. If you have three stage names, price Legend against anything flat before you renew.
The objections worth taking seriously
- Is this a scam, like half the category?
- Fair question, and the honest answer is that openDMCA cannot prove it with a testimonial. What it can do is publish the instrument: a notice under 17 U.S.C. §512 is the same one studios file, openDMCA acts as your authorised agent, and the policy that binds openDMCA to that role is public. Read the openDMCA DMCA policy, including the counter-notice route
- 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.

What Rulta withholds from the tier below, which is the other half of the price
A price comparison that only reads the numbers misses where Rulta puts the walls. Three capabilities are Legend-only, at $324 a month, and each is one that a creator typically discovers she needs after something has already happened.
Telegram takedown. Legend only. Telegram is usually where a leaked set goes after the aggregators, so this is the capability most likely to be needed by someone on the $139 tier.
Reverse image search. Legend only. This is what finds the sites reusing your images without ever typing your name — invisible to a username scan by definition.
Copyright registration. Legend only. A genuinely differentiated product that nobody else here bundles at all.
Submission volume is the fourth wall. Pro is described as limited submissions, Premier as a 2x submission limit, Legend as unlimited. If you find leaks faster than the scan does — and creators who check their own names usually do — that limit is what you hit first, before you hit the username ceiling.
The comparison worth doing. Write down how many stage names you actually post under and which of those three Legend capabilities you would use this year. If the answer is three names and none of the capabilities, Legend is $324 a month for a username count. openDMCA Pro covers three creators at $89, and a fourth is $15 a month rather than a tier change.
Why openDMCA can price flat, and what that costs openDMCA to say
Rulta's rationale for per-username pricing is correct as far as it goes: a creator with three names generates three scans. The part it leaves out is where the marginal cost actually sits, which is not in scanning.
Scanning is cheap and gets cheaper. The expensive part is resolving a host to a working abuse channel and then choosing which channel to use, and openDMCA does that once across the entire customer base rather than once per creator. The abuse-contact cache is shared: the hundredth creator whose leak lands on a given host inherits the resolution the first one paid for. 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, and adding a second stage name to an existing account adds scanning cost without adding routing cost.
That is the whole argument for flat pricing, and it is falsifiable: if openDMCA's per-creator costs did scale linearly, the pricing would have to change. Rulta's model is the honest version of the assumption that they do.
What openDMCA concedes on price. $29 a month covers one creator, not all your names. Bruqi charges the same $29 for every username and Privly charges $49 for all platforms and all content. On raw per-stage-name arithmetic, both beat openDMCA and neither claim on this page changes that. And openDMCA's own refund position is generally non-refundable, the same as Ceartas's, which is in the table above rather than buried here.
The estimate below assumes 180 live copies across two stage names, the position where Rulta's Premier tier and openDMCA Pro are actually competing.
