Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the availability results?
Our 3-tier domain checking system (DNS, HTTP, API fallback) achieves 99%+ accuracy. Social media checks use real-time server-side verification across every supported platform with confidence scores. High-confidence results (90%+) are highly reliable; medium-confidence results may warrant a quick manual check.
Which platforms and domains do you check?
We check every major social platform: YouTube, Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter), GitHub, npm, Twitch, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, Snapchat, Kick, Substack, Linktree, and Roblox. For domains, we support 20+ extensions including .com, .io, .dev, .app, .ai, .co, .org, .net, and more.
How does the AI name generator work?
Describe your business, industry, or brand personality and our AI generates creative, brandable name suggestions you can instantly check for availability across domains, the major social handles, and trademarks.
What is handle monitoring?
When a name you want is taken on a platform, set up a watch. We continuously monitor the handle and alert you via email or in-app notification the moment it becomes available so you can claim it first.
Does the trademark check replace legal advice?
No. Our trademark screening identifies potential USPTO conflicts and assesses risk levels (low/medium/high), but it is not a substitute for professional legal counsel. We recommend consulting a trademark attorney before registering any brand name.
Do you offer an API for developers and AI agents?
Yes. Pro and Business plans include REST API access with up to 3,000 requests per day. We also offer a remote MCP server for AI agents, with x402 micropayments for pay-per-call access coming soon. Full documentation is available at /docs/api.
