Is your brand name taken?

Type a name once. We check domains and the platforms that offer an official lookup, give you one-click links for the ones that don't, and score how easy the name will be to claim.

Checked for you

Automatic checks

Our server asks each registry or platform through its official interface. "Looks free" means no record was found; the platform still has the final say when you sign up.

Click-to-check links

These platforms don't allow automated lookups, so we never fetch them. Each link opens the profile address in a new tab. A "page not found" or "isn't available" message usually means no public account uses the name, but a private, suspended or deleted account can still hold it.

Brand Name Score

0 / 100

A checklist score for how easy this name will be to claim and use. Every part, its weight and why it counts are below; see how the score works. It is not legal advice and it can't tell you a name is free to trademark.

Why some checks are links instead of answers

Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and several others don't offer a way for a website to ask whether a username is free, and their terms forbid collecting data from them with automated tools. Meta's terms, for example, say you "may not access or collect data from our Products using automated means (without our prior permission)" (Meta Terms of Service, section 3.2). So we don't. For those platforms you get a link to the exact profile address, and you look yourself. It takes a few seconds per platform, and the answer comes from the platform itself.

Where a registry or platform does publish an official lookup, our server asks it for you: domain registries through RDAP, Bluesky, Mastodon, GitHub, GitLab, npm and PyPI today, with YouTube, Twitch and Steam to follow. The full list, with the reason for each, is on how it works.

What "looks free" means

It means the registry or platform had no record of the name when we asked. It is not a promise. A domain registry can't show premium or reserved names, and a platform can still refuse a name when you sign up. Claim the names you care about soon after you check them.

Trademarks are a separate question

A free domain and free handles don't mean nobody owns the name as a trademark. The USPTO says marks "don't have to be identical to be confusingly similar" (USPTO, likelihood of confusion). The score asks you to run the free USPTO search and tell it what you found. It is not legal advice; check with a trademark attorney before you file or spend money on a brand.
