Which one fits

Pick by the job you need done

Choose Namechk if…

You need the widest possible list of sites.

  • You want to check niche platforms BrandScreen doesn't cover
  • You want a quick sweep without signing up

Choose BrandScreen if…

You need answers you can act on for the platforms that matter.

  • You want to know how sure the result is, not just a green tick
  • You need the trademark and company checks too
  • You want to hear when a handle opens up or gets claimed
Using both

Wide sweep, then the decision

Most checkers can't tell a missing account from a deactivated one on Instagram, TikTok or X, and a deactivated handle usually can't be claimed. BrandScreen marks each platform taken, likely available or unknown, and says when it can't tell.

If you need a hundred sites, run Namechk too. For the decision itself, the trademark and company checks matter more than the handles.

FAQ

BrandScreen vs Namechk, answered

Why does BrandScreen check fewer platforms?
It checks the eight that matter most for a new brand (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, GitHub, Threads, Bluesky) and states a confidence for each, rather than a yes/no across a hundred.
Is Namechk free?
Yes. On October 14, 2026 its site said no credit card was needed.
Does Namechk check trademarks?
Not that we found. It checks usernames and domains; BrandScreen adds the USPTO register, business entities and search competition.
