Verification shouldn't be a $8/month checkmark — so I built something that actually proves ownership
Most "verification" online isn't real verification. A blue checkmark you can buy for $8/month. A link-in-bio page where you just type a URL and hope people believe it's yours. None of it actually proves you own the account you're claiming.
I built Scoop to fix that.
Connect/Log the accounts you already use (Google, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) through secure sign-in — ownership is cryptographically verified, not just typed in
Add any other profile you want to log, including platforms that aren't officially supported with secure sign-in
Every event you attend, Journey you join, and review you leave is tied back to that verified profile — no anonymous accounts hiding behind the interaction, which deepens your validity
Hosts creating events can see verified RSVPs before anyone shows up at the door and cross verfiy the users accounts when they show up
It's live on iOS now, and I'm launching publicly on Product Hunt tomorrow.
Genuinely curious to hear from this community:
What's the worst experience you've had with a fake or unverifiable profile online?
If you were meeting someone from an app in person for the first time, what would actually make you trust that their profile is genuine?
Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's worked on identity or trust problems in their own product.
