See what domains like the one you're eyeing actually sold for — from thousands of real, dated sales. Add an asking price and we'll tell you, plainly, whether you're about to overpay.
Most “domain value calculators” feed your name into a formula and hand back a single figure. It looks authoritative. It's also a guess dressed up as a fact — and it can talk you into paying far too much, or walking away from a fair deal.
We take the opposite approach. Instead of inventing a price, we show you what genuinely comparable domains sold for, with a link to each sale. You see the real market and decide for yourself. That's the honest version of a domain appraisal — and it's free.
A .com is worth far more than the same name on a niche extension. It's the single biggest factor, which is why we only compare like with like.
Shorter names command more. A three or four-letter name sits in a different league from a fifteen-letter one.
A real, in-demand word or a clean brandable name beats a random string. Meaning and memorability are what a buyer is really paying for.
The same name can double in price if one motivated buyer needs it. Demand is the wildcard no formula can see — which is why a range beats a point estimate.

Honestly, a domain is worth whatever a specific buyer will pay for it. There's no single 'correct' price. The useful thing you can do is see what similar domains — same extension, similar length — actually sold for recently. That range is the realistic starting point, and it's exactly what this tool shows you.
Those tools run your domain through a formula and print a single number. This tool does something simpler and more honest: it pulls up real, dated sales of comparable domains so you can see the actual market with your own eyes. No black-box score — just what people really paid, with a link to each sale.
Because one number pretends to a precision that doesn't exist. Two near-identical domains can sell months apart for wildly different prices depending on who wanted them. Showing you the typical range and the real sales behind it is more useful — and far less likely to lead you astray — than a made-up point estimate.
A real sale of a domain with the same extension (.com, .ai, and so on) and a similar name length, sold in roughly the same period. Clean word-style names are compared with other clean names; hyphenated and number-containing names are compared separately, because they trade differently. The tool tells you exactly which filter it used.
From thousands of publicly reported sales published by DNJournal, the long-running record of domain sales. Every comparable we show links back to its DNJournal page so you can verify it yourself. We do not estimate, seed, or invent any figure.
Two common reasons. First, most domains sell for less than owners hope — the eye-catching six-figure sales are rare exceptions, not the norm. Second, a comparable range describes typical names; a genuinely standout name (a short dictionary word, an exact in-demand keyword) can beat it. The range is your baseline, not a ceiling — but if you're the buyer, it's a strong signal about whether an asking price is fair.
Once the price checks out, make sure you buy it at the right registrar — the difference is real money over the years.
