New positioning: trademark risk comes first now

Rewrote the landing page leads with trademark risk instead of general availability.
Reason: a squatted domain is annoying, a trademark dispute can kill your brand. Report page now shows trademark screening first too.

namespyai.com if you want to try it on a name you're sitting on.

Dropped subscriptions, went credits-only

Killed the subscription model on NameSpyAI. Founders don't check names every month they check once, maybe twice, then move on. Recurring billing for that just felt wrong, and a couple of you on Reddit/X said the same thing.

Now it's pay-as-you-go: $5 for 25 credits or $10 for 60, credits never expire. 3 free searches to start, no card needed.

Thanks to everyone who pushed back on the old pricing this is a better fit.

Why I built NameSpyAI

Spent 10 days trying to name my body transformation app ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, even niche AI tools still couldn't find a clean name with no conflicts. That frustration became NameSpyAI: one search across 15 platforms, with a risk score and alternatives. Would love feedback!
