Dear Dustin,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We want to clarify the status for you and for others reading:

- The service you purchased was canceled because it did not comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, and your seller was informed accordingly.

Since 2017, Ruul has been supporting users worldwide with secure, compliant, and transparent operations. We remain committed to assisting our users fairly in all cases.

For any further assistance, our support team is available Monday–Friday, CET 08:00–17:00.

Payment Stuck, Transaction Marked as Canceled, No Support Response

one of the transactions was initiated, but its status later changed to Canceled. The amount is still pending in my account, and there are no available options in the dashboard to manage or resolve this issue.

I had requested a payout to my bank account, but instead of being processed, the transaction now shows as Canceled. It is unclear whether the funds will be refunded to the client or eventually transferred to me.

I have already contacted customer support about this matter, but unfortunately, I received no response. The funds remain stuck, and I cannot take any action from my side. This situation is very frustrating and creates a lot of uncertainty.

Dear Emad,

We are glad that we resolved this matter together after our direct communication.

We’d also like to clarify here for others reading:

- Our team does not operate on weekends, so the case was addressed first thing Monday morning.

- The payout was cancelled because the product listed did not comply with our Terms of Use.

- Refunds were processed back to the buyers’ cards, and we shared the proof of refunds in full.

This case has now been closed directly with the user.
At Ruul, we are committed to secure, compliant, and transparent operations, and we will always take the time to resolve issues fairly with our users.

ONLY 1 STAR FOR NOW!

ONLY 1 STAR FOR NOW!

I will never understand why the platform claims that they work with 140 Different Currencies but by the end Ruul Space supports only USD. All my clients and I, we are all based in the UK and need to process all payments in £ - GBP

1 STAR for now but I WILL UPGRADE TO 5 STARS ONLY IF YOU ADD (GBP) TO THE RUUL SPACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

●● UPDATE:
Dear Ruul Ruul Rude!
Your reply is not really sincere!
Everybody should know that you flagged my initial review on the same day for containing harmful or illegal content! So, can you just tell me: Which part of my review is harmful or illegal? It is just that you don't like when your users express their thoughts and send you some suggestions to improve your service! You just want to be always in control without listening to the need of your users! Luckily, the Trustpilot Integrity Team didn't fall into your false claims and below is their reply:

((((( Hi again,
We’re following up about your review of ruul.io, which was flagged for containing harmful or illegal content.
Our decision
We’ve assessed your review and concluded that it follows our guidelines. That's why we’ve now put your review back online.)))))

BEWARE PEOPLE! IF YOU GET SOME ISSUES WITH RUUL, THEY WILL JUST FLAG YOUR BAD REVIEWS IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR PROFILE CLEAN! BUT ANYWAY, I WILL UPGRADE THIS REVIEW TO 5 STARS AFTER YOU CHANGE YOUR BAD ATTITUDE AND IF YOU ADD £-GBP AS CURRENCY ON RUUL SPACE.
BYE!

Hi Laswann,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Ruul offers different services, and while Payment Request supports multiple currencies, Ruul Space is a new product that currently operates in USD only. We understand this may have caused some confusion.

The good news is that our team is already working on adaptive pricing for Ruul Space, which will soon make it possible to accept payments in GBP as well. We’re excited to bring this feature to our users.

We truly appreciate your feedback and your interest in Ruul Space. It helps us keep improving. If you ever have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out via the support box on our website.

It is quite good platform

It is quite good platform , costumer service is impressive and faster.
If this platform gives clients to search option for getting best talents available on their platform, with their low commission rate and better service, all people would move to ruul from other platforms like Upwork and Fiverr

Turned from good to evil

Rimuut (Ruul) was once the holy grail for Freelancers. Now it is a blatant money grab. Commissions tripled compared to 5 years ago. Suddenly every currency other than USD is being charged extra on top. People are being charged 6-8% per invoice now. What is happening?

By now it is cheaper to set up an actual company in the US or Dubai and run it instead of using Ruul.

Their support, especially Onur, are great. Just the cost for using Ruul is getting out of hand. For a simple 2000 EUR invoice, that's 120 EUR...for invoicing

After 7 years of using Ruul, I will be looking for a new service provider.

Dear Rob,

Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to clarify a few points for transparency:

1. Our current commission rates range between 5% and 6.5%, not 6–8% as mentioned.

2. Our fees have not tripled over the past five years. As of June 11, 2025, we introduced a flat base rate structure with clearly stated transfer costs, replacing the previous tiered model that included some hidden fees. Due to a global rise in financial and compliance-related transaction costs, your rate adjustment reflects an approximate 60% increase, not 300%, based on your previous tier-based rates.

We always aim to remain fair and competitive while continuing to provide secure, compliant, and fully supported invoicing services to freelancers around the world.

We sincerely appreciate your long-time trust in Ruul and hope this helps clarify the facts.

Excellent Support

Excellent Support – Thank You, Onur!

Ruul’s customer representative Onur was extremely helpful, patient, and solution-oriented throughout the entire process. He listened carefully to all my questions and provided prompt assistance whenever needed. It’s truly valuable to receive such professional and attentive support. Many thanks to Onur and the Ruul team!

I couldn’t believe how quickly the issue was resolved

When I reached out for help, I couldn’t believe how quickly the issue was resolved. If I had been working with another company, it probably would have taken days but they managed to sort it out in just a few minutes.
