BrandScreen

BrandScreen is a tool that helps you check whether a startup or product name is actually usable before you sink time and money into it. You type in a name, and in a few seconds you get a full report covering trademark conflicts, domain availability (including .com, .ai, .io, and more), active business entities, social handle availability on Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, and LinkedIn, plus how much search competition there is. The whole thing is summarized with a single 0–100 Brand Risk Score and an AI-generated review that tells you in plain English whether the name is safe or risky.

The tool stands out because it bundles five separate checks into one search. You don't have to jump between the USPTO database, a domain registrar, state business registries, and social media platforms. Everything comes back on one page, with clear red/green indicators and explanations. There's also an AI Name Generator that suggests names already pre-screened for availability — so you can skip the part where you fall in love with a name only to find out it's taken. The report uses AI to assess similarity between your name and existing trademarks, which is more useful than a simple exact-match lookup.

BrandScreen is ideal for startup founders, side-project builders, and anyone who's ever bought a domain and later realized a trademark conflict existed. It's also useful for brand consultants and agencies that need to quickly validate name options for clients. The free report gives you a solid overview, which makes it easy to run a quick sanity check before you commit to anything. If you're at the stage where you're brainstorming names or about to file incorporation papers, this is a tool that could save you a real headache down the line.
