Frequently Asked Questions

Is NameGrab free?
Yes, NameGrab is 100% free to use with no hidden fees or "premium" gated platforms.

What if a platform shows "Uncertain"?
"Uncertain" usually means the platform's servers are rate-limiting requests or the endpoint is temporarily down. We recommend checking those specific sites manually if they are critical to your brand.
