Yes, completely free. You don't need to create an account, provide an email address, or enter any payment information. Just type a channel name and search.
Results come directly from the YouTube Data API v3 in real time, so they reflect YouTube's current channel database. However, YouTube's API returns the most relevant results rather than every matching channel, so we recommend also doing a direct YouTube search for any name you're seriously considering. Very small channels with no public videos may not appear in results.
This can happen when a channel is very new, has no uploaded videos, or has not been indexed by YouTube's search system yet. If you find a channel manually on YouTube that the tool didn't surface, it means the channel is too small or inactive to appear in API search results. We recommend treating "available" as "no prominent competing channel found" rather than a guaranteed clear name.
No. Your search queries are used only to fetch data from YouTube's API during your current session. We do not store, log, or analyze individual search queries. For aggregate site analytics (page views, browser type), we use Google Analytics with anonymized data only. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Currently, Channel Checker searches YouTube only. For cross-platform name availability, we recommend manually checking Instagram, X (Twitter), and TikTok handles, and using a domain lookup service to check whether yourname.com is available.

First, try refreshing the page. If the issue persists, it may be a temporary YouTube API outage or quota limitation. YouTube's API has daily usage limits, and during high-traffic periods the tool may temporarily stop returning results. Try again after a few minutes. If the problem continues for more than an hour, please email us with your browser and device details so we can investigate.
