socialscan

Checks whether a username or email is registered on major platforms (Instagram, X, GitHub, Snapchat, etc.) using signup/reset endpoints for accurate results.

freeosscli

field note

It covers fewer sites but has fewer false positives than broad checkers, because it uses each platform's own availability endpoints. Good for confirming hits.
