A domain appraisal is a professional assessment of a domain name's market value. Our AI-powered system analyzes over 50 factors including:
The domain appraisal industry has several excellent services, and we respect the work being done across the board. What makes Appraise.net unique is our deep linguistic analysis and word disambiguation approach that goes beyond surface-level valuation.
Most appraisal systems evaluate domains at face value. We go deeper by analyzing multiple possible interpretations of a domain name and identifying which meaning has the highest commercial value.
We analyze how words can be parsed, understood, and interpreted across different contexts. For example, "sunrise" could be Sunrise the event, Sun Rise the action, or a brand name - each with different commercial value.
We evaluate how different interpretations resonate across demographics, geographies, and cultural contexts to identify maximum market appeal.
We identify which industries would find each interpretation most valuable and rank them by market size and monetization potential.
We select the interpretation with the strongest revenue potential and budget expectations in real-world business scenarios.
Beyond basic valuation, we provide:
While other services might tell you a domain is worth $X, we explain why it is worth that amount by showing you:
This disambiguation-first approach ensures you are not just getting a number; you are getting actionable intelligence to price, market, and sell your domains effectively.
We believe the future of domain appraisal is not just about valuation; it is about understanding the full commercial potential of every possible interpretation and guiding you to the most valuable outcome.

Domain values can vary significantly depending on the sales context and buyer. Our AI analyzes multiple pricing scenarios:
Our appraisal range represents the retail market range - what an end-user might reasonably pay. This gives you realistic expectations for different selling scenarios.
Our AI system maintains a 95% accuracy rate by continuously learning from market data, sales records, and industry trends. However, domain values can be subjective and market conditions change, so our appraisals should be used as professional guidance rather than absolute values.
GoDaddy Closeout Alerts is a free email notification service that sends you lists of GoDaddy Closeout auction domains, enriched with AI-powered valuations from Appraise.net.
Closeout domains are expired domains available with Buy Now prices as low as $5.00 USD. A closeout begins after the 10-day Expired Auction has ended without receiving a bid, and lasts 5 days. It functions as a reverse auction where the price decreases daily. This is the last chance to capture expired domains before they are returned to the registry.
You'll start receiving alerts with the next Closeout newsletter.
The Appraise.net API lets you integrate domain appraisals directly into your own applications, scripts, and workflows. This guide covers everything you need to get started.
API access is available on Business, Enterprise, and Partner subscription plans. You can generate API keys from your subscription dashboard once you are on an eligible plan.
Every API request requires two credentials, passed as HTTP headers:
ak_live_). You can reveal it on your Profile page after confirming your password.Security warning: These credentials grant full access to your credits. Never share them, commit them to source control, or expose them in client-side code.
The simplest call is a single domain appraisal:
curl -X POST https://appraise.net/api/v1/appraisal -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-API-Key: ak_live_your_key_here" -H "X-API-Secret: your_secret_here" -d "{\"domain\": \"example.com\"}"The API returns a JSON response. For the full response schema and all available endpoints, refer to the interactive API documentation at /api/docs.
To appraise many domains at once, use the batch endpoint:
curl -X POST https://appraise.net/api/v1/appraisal/batch -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-API-Key: ak_live_your_key_here" -H "X-API-Secret: your_secret_here" -d "{\"domains\": [\"domain1.com\", \"domain2.com\", \"domain3.com\"]}"Batch job progress and results can be tracked on the API Activity page.
The API automatically prevents duplicate submissions. If you submit a domain that is already being processed in a pending job, the API will return the existing job details instead of creating a new one. For batch requests, any domains already in-flight are skipped and reported in the skipped_domains field of the response. This protects you from being charged twice for the same appraisal.
API calls consume credits from your account balance at these rates:
You can make API calls from any number of clients with no device or IP restrictions. Rate limits vary by plan:
All appraisals created via the API are automatically available in the web interface. You can find them in My Appraisals, or view any individual appraisal at /appraisal?domain=example.com.
The API Activity page (visible in the navigation menu once you have an API key) provides a complete overview of your API usage:
