Three steps between you
and your perfect handle

01

Tell us the handle

Share the Instagram username you want. We analyze its status, check if it's inactive or claimable, and give you an honest assessment before anything starts.

02

We work with Meta

Our team submits your claim through Meta's authorized channels. No workarounds, no gray areas. We use official Media Partner pathways to process your request.

03

Handle is yours

Once approved, the username is swapped directly onto your account. The original inactive profile keeps its data under a new username. Clean, safe, done.

Inactive & Banned Handles

If the account hasn't posted in years or was banned by Instagram, we can claim it. Two-letter handles, brand names, personal names, all fair game.

Refund Guarantee

If we can't claim your handle, you get your money back. No questions asked. We vet every case before accepting payment so we only take cases we believe in.

Multi-Platform Ready

Starting with Instagram, expanding to TikTok, X, and LinkedIn. Your brand deserves consistency across every platform, and we'll help you get there.

Transparent Pricing

No hidden fees, no surprise charges. We quote you upfront based on the handle's complexity and rarity. You know what you're paying before anything begins.
