Free domain appraisal

Type it into the box above. The appraisal gives a marketplace value in US dollars, a quick-sale and a brokerage figure around it, and every factor that produced the number. Most registered names built from ordinary words land between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars. One-word .coms, one- to three-letter names, and names with a public sale on record reach six and seven figures. What a name is worth to one particular buyer is a different question, and no automated tool can answer it.

Three checks, in order. First the name itself: length, whether it is a real word, how brandable it is, and its extension, which is what the appraisal above scores. Second the market: whether the name is available, premium, listed for sale, or taken, and what comparable names have actually sold for. Third the demand: how many extensions of the same name are registered and whether the word has a sale history. The result page shows all three, and the aftermarket search shows what similar names are listed for today.

The model reads the name first: length, word type, how familiar the word is, how brandable it is, whether it has a keyword sale history, its extension, and any digits, hyphens, or generic prefixes. Then it reads the record: a reported sale of the exact domain, a place among the world’s 10,000 most-visited websites, or a one- to three-letter .com each set a floor. The factors are calibrated against reported sales from 2025 and 2026, the data is rebuilt monthly, and the same domain always gets the same answer.

Treat any automated appraisal as a starting point, ours included. In our checks against reported sales from 2025 and 2026, most estimates landed within a factor of three of the price paid, and the misses were almost always on the low side, which is the safe side to be wrong on. What no model can see is the one buyer who needs this exact name for a product, a trademark that makes it unusable, or a private deal that was never reported. That is why the result shows a range rather than a single number, and why it links to the sales it knows about.

Yes. There is no account to create, no paywall, and no paid report to upsell. We earn a small referral fee when you register a domain through one of our registrar links; the price you pay is the same as going to the registrar directly.

They are built on different data and aim at different prices. A model trained on retail listings will run high; one trained on auction results will run low; one whose data stopped in 2024 cannot price a .ai name in 2026. Most of them show a single number with no way to check it. Ours shows the factors, the sales it used, and the build date of its data, so you can judge the estimate rather than take it on faith. If two tools disagree by a lot, the reported sales of similar names settle it.

Use the three figures on the result as your ladder. The brokerage figure is an opening ask to an end user who needs the name; the marketplace figure is a sensible list price; the auction figure is your floor in a fast sale to another investor. Then check what comparable names are actually listed for, and read our guide to buying and selling domain names before you list.

Shortness, a real word people already know, brandability (a concrete noun or an action verb beats an abstract adjective), the extension (.com first, then .ai, then .io and .co), and demand: how many extensions of the name are taken and whether the word has sold as a domain before. Digits, hyphens, and prefixes like “get” or “my” take value away. The section on what makes a domain name valuable above shows every signal the model reads.

For the name alone, very little: a great word is a great word whether it was registered in 1996 or last week. For a developed website, a great deal, because age comes with backlinks, search history, and trust. The result shows the registration date and the Ahrefs Domain Rating for a registered name, so you can see whether you are looking at a parked string of letters or an operating site.

Yes. Every extension is priced on its own scale. .ai carries a clear premium over .io and .co, backed by the sales of the last two years (Bot.ai at $1.2 million, Wisdom.ai at $750,000, Cloud.ai at $600,000), and sits below .com. Extensions with no resale market to speak of are capped, because no word rescues an extension nobody buys.

Almost always, yes. The pattern is an unsolicited offer for your domain, followed by a request that you buy a certified appraisal from a site they recommend, which pays them a commission and is the whole point. A real buyer does not need the seller to buy anything. If you want an independent figure to negotiate with, use this page; it costs nothing and shows its work.

Yes, on this page, and as an estimated value card inside the domain checker. Unlike a paid Sedo appraisal, the result is instant and free. For a whole portfolio, run the list through bulk domain search to see which names are registered, then appraise the ones that matter.
