Domain value estimator that returns a range, not a verdict
Type a name, switch the extension, and watch the range move. That movement is the useful part: it shows you what the model actually rewards, which is short, sayable and on the .com.
| Inputs | The name and the extension, nothing else |
| Signals | Length, syllables, spelling risk, extension |
| Output | A range with the estimate label attached |
| Not included | Traffic, revenue, existing brand, buyer demand |
No card to create the account. The tool below runs without one.
Put a name through it.
Type any name, switch the extension, and watch the range move. What moves it is what the model rewards.
To find out whether the name is free as well, run it through the console.
Midpoint . Calculated from the name you typed, not from a market, a listing or an offer. It reads length, extension and pronounceability, and it cannot see traffic, revenue or who wants the name.
Type any name and switch the extension to see how the range moves. Nothing is looked up and no availability is claimed here; the console does that.

Every plan is paid and starts at $39 a month. The tool above runs without an account.
The three signals that move the number most
Length. Every additional character costs a little value, and the drop is steepest between a very short name and a merely short one. This is the single strongest signal in almost every automated model, ours included.
Extension. The .com carries a premium that has survived every prediction of its decline. Switch a name from .com to another extension in the estimator and the range moves immediately, which is a fair reflection of how buyers behave.
Pronounceability. A name that survives being read aloud once and typed later is worth more than an equally short name that does not, because everything downstream, from advertising to word of mouth, gets cheaper.
What no estimator can see
Existing traffic and revenue. A mediocre name with real visitors is worth more than an elegant one with none, and no model reading the string can tell the difference.
Trademark exposure. A name that sits beside a famous mark may be worth nothing at all, because using it is a liability rather than an asset.
The specific buyer. Most large domain sales happen because one company needed one name to complete something. That is invisible until it happens and it is frequently the largest term in the price.
Where an estimate is genuinely useful
Sorting a long list. If you generated forty names, the estimate is a fast way to see which handful sit in a different class from the rest.
Setting your own ceiling before a negotiation, so the first number you hear is not the anchor for everything that follows.
Explaining a naming decision to somebody else. A range with its method written next to it is a better argument than an assertion about how a name feels.
The longer version of the method, including what an estimate cannot see, is on the domain appraisal page. What names of each class actually change hands for is on premium domain names.
Questions people ask first
The rest are on the FAQ, and the mechanics are in how it works.
The honest answer is what somebody will pay for it, and the estimator does not know who that is. It reads the name and returns a range for names of that shape. Use it to tell classes apart, then look at comparable recorded sales for anything you intend to actually sell.
Different tools weight different signals, and some are trained on sales data that skews toward closed deals. Wide disagreement between tools is normal and is itself information: it means the name is hard to price.
No. The estimate measures resale characteristics, not fit. A name that scores lower but says exactly the right thing to your customers is the better business decision every time.
No. We are not making a market in names and the figure is not an offer. It is labelled as an estimate on every row for exactly that reason.
Close to this one
Three pages that answer the neighbouring question, each with the console seeded for its own kind of business.
An appraisal is an opinion with a number attached. Ours reads the name itself and returns a range, on every free result, next to the words AI estimate, not an offer. That label is not legal cover, it is the accurate description of what the figure is.
A premium domain is simply a name somebody already owns and has decided to sell. There is no separate registry of premium names, no official grading, and no reason to accept a price without a view of your own.
This domain availability checker puts one question to the registry that holds the record: is there a registration for this name. It returns free, taken, or a plain admission that the lookup did not complete, and it never rounds the third answer down to the first.
Write one line and see what survives the check.
Every name that comes back free has been looked up against the registry that holds the record. Nothing on the shortlist is already gone.
