What our research says

BrandScreen

BrandScreen answers a specific pre-launch question — will this name cause trademark or domain trouble — by pulling together checks that would otherwise mean visiting several different registries by hand. The free tier is generous enough to actually validate one or two name candidates before paying anything.

Pros

  • Combines trademark, domain, entity, and social-handle checks into one report
  • Free tier includes unlimited basic reports, not just a one-time trial
  • Ongoing monitoring on paid plans, not just a single point-in-time check

Cons

  • The AI-written 0-100 score is not a substitute for an actual legal trademark opinion
  • Paid tiers scale up quickly from $19 to $199 a month
  • The original .ai address now redirects to a different top-level domain, worth noting if bookmarked

NameHassle

NameHassle bundles the early steps of naming a project — idea generation, domain availability, handle availability, and a starter logo — into one free pass instead of separate visits to a name generator and a domain registrar. Trademark checking is described as basic, so it shouldn't replace an actual clearance search for anything you plan to build a real business on.

Pros

  • Completely free with no account required
  • Checks domain availability across five extensions in the same flow as name generation
  • Includes a free logo generator tied to the chosen name

Cons

  • Trademark verification is basic and not a substitute for a real clearance search
  • Domain registration routes through Bluehost specifically, not a registrar of your choice
  • No company information published beyond the tool itself
