Frequently Asked Questions

How does the username history lookup work?

SherloX scans archived records and third-party data sources to find every username an X (Twitter) account has used in the past. When you enter a current handle, we search across historical snapshots to build a complete timeline of name changes.

Why would someone change their Twitter username?

People change usernames for many reasons: rebranding, hiding past activity, pivoting to a new niche, or distancing from controversy. Tracking these changes can reveal important context about an account's history and credibility.

Can I look up usernames for any account?

Yes, you can look up the username history for any public X (Twitter) account. Simply enter the current handle and SherloX will retrieve all known previous usernames.

How much does a username history scan cost?

Each scan item costs 1 credit. You can purchase credits starting at $5 for 15 credits, payable via secure Stripe checkout or any supported cryptocurrency. You can also pay directly with USDC on Base or Solana ($0.35 per item).
