Short answer
Instagram itself doesn’t charge anything to change your username. What costs money is the work of getting a handle that someone else is sitting on: checking who holds it, finding the official route that fits, and putting the request together properly. That’s why there’s no single number. A dead profile on a random word is a different job from a squatter holding your brand name.
What changes the price
- Who holds it. A long-dead profile, a squatter, an account using your name or brand, or an active stranger. Each one is a different route, and some can’t be done at all.
- Whether you have rights to it. A registered trademark or a clear brand connection opens Meta’s intellectual property process.
- How short or wanted it is. One-word, one-letter and OG handles take more work.
Prices that should worry you
If someone quotes you in a DM, asks for your password, or offers to “sell” you an account with the handle on it, skip it. Buying and selling accounts breaks Instagram’s terms, and accounts that change hands tend to get lost again. A real claim puts the handle onto your own profile and you keep your login to yourself.
How to get an actual quote
- Send us the handle you want and your current profile on WhatsApp or email.
- We check the account holding it and tell you honestly if it’s doable.
- You get your price before anything starts. Payment is by card or crypto.

Staying safe
Nobody needs your password or login codes to help you. Not us, not anyone. If someone in your DMs offers to sort it, asks you to log in through their link, or says they know someone at Meta, walk away. Unbanz never asks for logins and doesn’t claim any special access. We use the same official routes that are open to you, we just know them well and do the legwork properly.
