Why are some platforms only a link?

Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook and LinkedIn actively block automated availability checks from servers, so any tool claiming a definite answer for them is guessing. Rather than show you something unreliable, we link straight to the page where you can check in a second.

What does "taken" actually mean?

It means the platform already has a profile, page or reserved name at that handle. A handle can also be held by an inactive or suspended account, so if one you want shows as taken, it is sometimes worth checking the profile directly.

Is this really free, and do I need an account?

Yes, it is free and there is no sign-up. The names, palettes and taglines are generated in your browser. Domain and handle checks run through a small private proxy so your browser can reach the registries; we do not store what you search.
