What is free username search

A username is a fingerprint. Most people use the same handle across platforms β€” anyastrava on Strava, anyastrava on Instagram, anyastrava on Reddit, anyastrava42 if the original is taken. Skopio queries 350+ platforms simultaneously: social networks, dev sites, gaming, dating, marketplaces, freelance β€” returning a confidence-scored map of where the same person is active. Free username search, no registration.

Why it matters

In an OSINT investigation, finding a username collapses time-to-identity from hours to minutes. From the same handle you cascade to email, phone, real name, employer β€” the entire profile.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Sherlock?+

Sherlock is a CLI tool that returns hits without confidence scoring. Skopio adds confidence (active vs squatted vs different-person), aggregates breach corpus signals, and runs in your browser/Telegram instead of requiring local install. Free for the first lookup every day.

How many platforms do you check?+

350+ as of May 2026. The list is curated. We drop platforms that block automated lookup or have low real-user signal.

False positives?+

We score them. Confirmed means username + cross-signal match. Likely means username match only. Use the confidence column as your filter.

How exhaustive is it?+

This category hits 350+ endpoints in parallel β€” the heaviest of all categories by source count. Times vary per query.

Is the free tier enough for casual use?+

Probably yes. One free search per day means 30+ free searches per month. For deeper investigations, prepaid packs start at 7 USD for 20 queries.
