Frequently asked questions

What does it cost?

$9 per naming project, one payment, no subscription. A project is a full run, 5 full appraisals and a free re-run if no name fits. Naming more than one thing? 5 projects cost $29.

How do you know a domain is available?

Every name is checked against the live registry while the owls work. A name only makes your list when its domain is free to register on the day, so you never fall for a name someone already owns.

Do you sell domains?

No. You register your favourite at the registrar of your choice, such as Namecheap, Porkbun or Cloudflare, at their normal price. No markup, no commission.

Do you check trademarks?

No. A free domain is not trademark clearance: we check domain availability only. The full appraisal tells you what to search for, but checking trademarks and other naming rights is your responsibility before you use a name.

What happens in a run?

Ten AI owls, each with its own way of naming, invent hundreds of names for your brief. Every name is checked at the live domain registry, put through a sanity check and scored by two judges. You watch it live, and the podium is ready in about six minutes. We email you when it is, so you can close the tab.

What if no name fits?

Every project includes a free re-run: sharpen the brief from your podium and the owls start again. A run that ranks fewer than 50 names does not count, so you can start it again too.

Which domain endings can I use?

The owls suggest endings that suit your project, and you can choose up to five, your country's own included. A name only makes your list when its domain is free on one of them.

What is a full appraisal?

An honest, in-depth look at one name: what people think of when they hear it, sound and spelling, fit with your brief, other languages, trademark risk to look into, search, and the same name on other endings, looked up live. 5 are included with every project. Reopening one you already have is always free.

Can I compare my favourites?

Yes. Star the names you like on the podium and compare them side by side on seven criteria, from length and typos to how they travel abroad.

Can I describe my project in another language?

Yes. Write the brief in the language you think in. The owls ask which languages and markets the name has to work in.

Can I buy more than one project?

Yes. 5 projects cost $29. Projects you have not used never expire, and each new brief uses one.

How do I delete my account?

Open Billing from the account menu, choose Delete account and confirm with your email address. That erases your projects, runs, names and appraisals, and your account itself. It is immediate and cannot be undone. Download my data on the same page gives you a copy first.
