Live or batch: which should I pick and what does each cost?
The extension offers two ways to run an appraisal. Both use the same engine and the same credits as the website; they differ in speed, price and where you wait.
| Live | Batch | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per new domain | 3 credits | 2 credits |
| Time | About 20 seconds each, four at a time | Minutes to hours, runs on our servers |
| Where you wait | Keep the tab open; results stream into the panel | Close the tab if you like; you get a desktop notification and an email |
| Best for | A handful of names you are deciding on now | Longer lists, end-of-day sourcing runs |
Domains we have already appraised
Domains that already have a current appraisal cost less either way: 0 credits if it is yours, purchased, or public; 1 credit to view another user's private appraisal. The panel shows the cost before anything is charged.
Choosing a default
You can set the default for cases where you don't choose explicitly (toolbar icon → gear icon (⚙) → Behavior). New installs default to batch. See What settings does the extension have?
