I already said it was a transfer price. Its best to read what people actually write, not what you imagine that they did.
Looks like there are more better prices for renewals than you think.

I can't understand why dynadot would bother with a "not a promo $10.49 transfer", when it costs around that to register with many registrars." And, to me, that did not read as discussing "transfers" but rather comparing the transfer promo to registrar prices (saying, "
when it costs around that to register with many registrars")
It appears your intent was different. Not sure why it was necessary to respond with snark/attitude, I did not intentionally misinterpret your post. Consider kind clarification will get your further in life than snark.
As for renewals, I am aware of Cloudflare, as are most. What you may be unaware of is the fact that Cloudflare does not allow NS changes. As such, this makes it inappropriate for many investors. Cloudflare is intended for end users (although I'm sure some find workarounds).
As for Cosmotown, it is a bit player and, imho, was not worth mentioning.

Dynadot has been running this same promo price for many mos. Generally, when you see continuation of a promo, it means the company is finding it popular. After all, why continue to trot out a promo no one is taking advantage of? Perhaps
@Caleb Tweed can share the popularity of this promo you seem to feel "
isn't going to attract any domain investors".
Some domainers prefer Dynadot over others for myriad reasons and as such Dyna does not have to be the lowest price to garner our loyalty. The fact they stay so close to the lowest price is a testament to one of the reasons why so many domainers like them.
