COM price is $8.03 once you add in ICANN fee
Then add the Membership Fees
Lite - $10/5 domains => + $2 per domain - Actual Cost $10.03
Basic - $30/19 domains => +$1.58 per domain - Actual Cost $9.61
Plus - $50/49 domains => +$1.02 per domain - Actual Cost $9.05
Unlimited - $100/unlimited - To break even, use Epik $8.49 as the standard which at $0.46 per domain would make the Break Even point 217 domains
Keep in mind you can get $8.03 at NameBright IF you pre-fund with Wire Transfer or Postal Mail a paper check and $8.10 at Epik with pre-fund by Wire, counter deposit or pay with bitcoin or masterbucks. That makes the YEARLY Break Even point infinity for NameBright and 1428 domains for Epik : grin :
Some things that caught my eye:
All domains are subject to a mandatory $0.18 ICANN fee per year, except for those with any of the following extensions: .ac, .bz, .cc, .co, .fm, .in, .io, .me, .nl, .pw, .sh, .st, .tv, .ws
From TOS -

Registrant agrees that transfer of a domain name away from DCC to another registration service provider may be subject to an administrative transfer fee determined in the sole discretion of DCC.
The parent company is GDI - which is the WS guys. Back in the GDI days many MLMers bugged me about it so that is a personal annoyance factor.

Personally, to use a registrar for hundreds of domains, would have to see the control panel and how they handle bulk functions, there is little if any info or screenshots anywhere. OK was able to sign up WITHOUT purchasing anything, when it got to that screen, just went to My Account instead. It looks like a tweaked WHMCS. It appears to have bulk functions including exporting domain list and bulk auth codes.
We'll see if they hound my email to upgrade, although to their credit, they do have email opt-outs in the cp. Strangely, there was no welcome email even : puzzled :
