I think the best tools for figuring domain value are Nameworth , domainindex and Name Bio what are yours?

None of them are perfect of course. I'll run things through estibot, nameworth, saw, and NameBio most frequently. Recent reported sales for similar domains are probably the "best" indicator of domain name value.

Can't comment on usefulness as I have never personally requested one, but they are done by an experienced domain expert, are in depth, and in my way of thinking are balanced, an honest opinion about the worth of the domain name. They give things like comparators, comments on the vertical, structure, etc.
Thanks for the insight. Are the appraisals done confidentially, i.e. by PM, or do they get posted in the Insider's Club appraisal section.
I understand that normally "what goes on in the Insider's Club stays in the Insider's Club," but if folks are considering joining, it's nice to know how this perk actually works.

My view is they are a useful tool but shouldn't be treated as gospel. Too many factors at play to just plug into an algorithm , spit out a number and say voila.
I agree. And especially if you call them valuations or appraisals it creates in people's minds that these are actual prices they should go by. That those are true market values.

estibot (gd appraisals too low)
is there something new?
Could you clarify your question? In general, In my experience, the GoDaddy appraisals tended to be much higher compared to Estibot.

Forgive my ignorance. But it dotible.com your appraisal tool. Is there any timeframe for .net, .org. .co
Yes it is my tool.

- .net and org are already available, although precision will never be the same as .com due to much lower sales data. Also .io and .xyz.

- .co = no plans to add it since this TLD has been going into rather sharp decline lately.

As a side note, everything outside of these TLDs is just guesswork, since there is terribly insufficient sales data for say .pro or .site TLDs, etc . I could add every TLD out there, but then the tool won't be precise (again, lack of sufficient sales) and I don't want to provide a guesswork tool.

@Eric Lyon - How do we get an account at Insiders Club?

Namepros, because all others can be found here.
With the Insider's Club, are professional appraisals still being offered? And, if so, how reliable are these, in your opinion.
Also, Estibot is cited as being used for more official valuations, such as for tax purposes. Are any of the other appraisal site valuations accepted for that?

Ok, you are all talking about appraisal tools. I understood it as domain tools.
I never used insider club. What is it about?
Appraisals may be misleading, because value is not a number, it is a random variable (distribution).
And that random variable changes as well. What I mean : 1 percent chance to sell for 6 figures,
10 percent chance to sell for 5 figures,.. such a thing called random variable in probability theory.
You can take weighted averages (expectations), but it may not be very helpful all the time, because we all want to sell asap (before renewal).

All tools are good for their own purpose :

Estibot good for counting value of EMD (Exact Match Domains) and Dictionary domains from the PPC cost

Godaddy Appraisals good for counting value of keywords and patterns in comparisson from historical sales

MOZ domain analizer is good for counting value of traffic domains and high DA/PA domains

Nameworth is good to count value of brandable domains and dictionary words domains

Namebio is good to help us comparing historical sales of some type of domains

There are some type of valuable domains, and they can be valued by different parameters. You can't count DA 60 domains value using estibot, namebio, nameworth and domain index. But DA 60 domains always sold above $20k at Godaddy auctions. You use MOZ to value high DA/PA domains value.

Well, professional appraisals are mentioned on NamePros as a perk for the Insider's Club.
So, how useful are those appraisals, reserved for the "Insider" elite? Are they still being offered when you are an Insider?

I would note, there's a difference between something made FOR the market and something made out of passion and with the intent of being useful and accurate as possible, first of all. Which wasn't easy at all.

You can make an appraisal tool in 1-2 days if you're a good coder. But without some years spent refining it, it ain't going to be accurate.

You just made my day!!
Your tool just appraised my domain u-torrent .com at $1,170,216 :xf.cool:
His tool has given a couple of my domains 5 and 6 figure values so I love it as well ;)

I do like nameworth. Primarily because it is not public facing. Also the domains I tried came back with estimates very close to my expectations. Plus it focuses only on dot coms. It is easier to build a more accurate engine if you stay within one or two extensions that have the most data available.
I just checked Nameworth for 5 domain names I own and they returned a much higher estimate than GoDaddy and dotible. Of course I hope nameworth is closer to what I can expect. Any comments? as would like to manage expectations on domain name worth. Cheers, Jeff

The Nameworth valuations generally do seem much higher than the other tools. And perhaps, in years past or even now with the right buyer, you can command the retail prices they cite.
In my experience, the retail valuations did not seem to impress potential buyers.

Big thanks for feedback. I just updated to paid account with nameworth and checked all domains. The interesting thing was that 70% of my better domains came back with higher value from nameworth and the other 25% had GoDaddy quoting a higher price. So took the highest quote across all domains and created a best of list.

I do like how Nameworth offer a Values/Appraisals report.

Well, one of our NamePros members, Garrett, I believe still operates Nameworth, so I'll let him speak for himself on this. He's @NameBuyer.com

Take a look at the automatic appraisal tool linked in my signature.

As a side note, it took some years to refine and has been a vital factor in my domaining success. Built it for myself, now opened to the world.
Thanks@twiki, I liked your tool and awaiting to include other extensions also.

Are you saying your valuation tool uses squadhelp and brandbucket domains? Any others? I personally find that quite limiting. If it used Dynadot, NameBright, GoDaddy, I'd find it much more useful.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated.

There are more features coming soon. Such as history of previous comparable sales (similar to GD), provided in partnership with Namebio.

Forgive my ignorance. But it dotible.com your appraisal tool. Is there any timeframe for .net, .org. .co

FYI, it has not been returning results for at least a day.

EDIT: It looks back to normal now. Thanks, I enjoy using and other items on BH.

I only tried one .com domain and it never returned any result?
