Instantly check if a username is available or taken across 36 platforms. Uses fast API/HTTP probing — no browser required, dirt cheap to run.

Why?

  • Brand protection — secure your username across platforms before someone else does
  • Domain investors — find valuable available usernames
  • Social media managers — check client name availability at scale
  • Security researchers — detect impersonation or squatting

Features

  • 36 platforms — GitHub, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Spotify, Twitch, GitLab, Roblox, Chess.com, and more
  • API-first — uses platform APIs (GitHub, Reddit, Hacker News, Mojang, Chess.com, Lichess, Codeberg, Roblox) for reliable results
  • Bulk checking — check multiple usernames at once
  • Selective platforms — check all platforms or pick specific ones
  • Fast & cheap — HTTP probing only, no browser overhead (~$0.00004 per result)
  • Concurrent — configurable concurrency for speed
  • Rate-limit friendly — adjustable delay between requests
