Questions

Can a name be free and still unavailable?

Yes. TikTok holds the names of deleted and banned accounts for a time, and they show no profile.

Is the check case sensitive?

No. TikTok usernames are not case sensitive.

Is this tool free?

Yes. No account and no card. Each visitor gets a limited number of lookups an hour, so it stays free for everyone.

How do I get this data in my own app?

Send GET /v1/tiktok/profile with your key in the x-api-key header. A request costs 1 credit. A repeat of something fetched recently costs 0 credits, and failed requests are free. See the reference.
