About this tool

Check if a username, brand handle, or workspace name is available across 60+ networks — Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, GitHub, Reddit, Etsy, Shopify, Slack, eBay, Last.fm and more — in one click.

Use this checker before locking in a brand name, podcast title, project codename, or personal handle. It probes 68 services live and reports three outcomes per platform — Available when the profile URL returns 404, Taken when it returns a real profile, and Unknown when the platform blocks scraping or returns an ambiguous response. Click any platform to open its signup page in a new tab.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are the results?

We probe each platform live. Where a service returns a clear 200/404 we report Available or Taken with high confidence. When a service blocks scraping or returns ambiguous codes (CAPTCHAs, rate limits, WAF challenges) we mark it Unknown rather than guess.

Why is "Unknown" shown for some platforms?

Some networks (Snapchat, LinkedIn, Fiverr) deliberately blank-render unknown profiles or block automated checks. We never claim a handle is free when we can't verify it — re-run the search a moment later or open the platform link to confirm manually.

What does "Likely available" mean?

A few networks (Facebook in particular, when no Graph API token is configured) show the same generic "this content isn't available" page for both genuinely-free handles and rare edge cases (private profiles, deleted accounts). When we can detect that the platform returned an empty page — meaning the handle most likely doesn't resolve to anyone — we mark it "Likely available" instead of asserting plain Available. Treat this as "you can probably register it, but click through to the platform to confirm there's no private holder." When a Facebook Graph API token is plugged in, Facebook upgrades to a clean Available/Taken answer instead.

Does this guarantee I can register the username?

No — platforms can reserve, suspend or delete-and-cool-down handles even when the public URL returns 404. Treat results as research, then complete signup on the platform itself to claim the handle.

Do you store the usernames I check?

For capacity planning we keep a brief, owner-only log line per search containing the tool slug, the username string you submitted, your IP, and the latency. The log is visible only to the site operator (not shared, sold, or surfaced anywhere public), retained for 30 days, and never linked to a Baaed FREE SEO Suite account unless you were signed in. If you would prefer to leave no trace at all, use a private/incognito window.
