Leapfish or Estibot....which is more accurate? (If at all)

[rudyhernandez]

Hi everyone,
I've seen tons of people post Estibot appraisals that seem way too high and LeapFish estimates that are almost unrealistic.
In my opinion, these websites don't offer good estimate appraisals at all.
My question is:
Besides the NamePros forum, is there a suggested website that offers near-correct appraisals?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Rep will be added for helping.
Thanks again!

Estibot by a mile, And remember, Estibot is still in "Beta" It is the most accurate automated valuator i have ever seen.

I haven't tried estibot but Leapfish alright.

thanks everyone. Rep added.

estibot as more I suppose bit sometime leapfish is ok.

 

[bro]

leapfish is based on archive.org, I like estibot appraisals

For s & g's, I gave leapfish a spin the other night. First pass, valued a domain at $800.

Ran the same domain again several minutes later, $90. Ran it a third time, $22.

Bah.

Leapfish gave me 2,000 USD+ and Esibot gave me 680 USD on my domain.

online estimators = a waste of time and money.

estibot actually imho is rather accurate

In terms of Automated appraisals, Estibot is as close as your going to come to true value. Josh takes sales data directly from our NameBio database, and soon will have the entire database to work with. Expect Estibot to improve substancially. But the truth is, it is a high quality website and I look forward to working with Josh in the future on a collaboration project. Its gonna freak you guys out.

Leapfish stinks. If the domain has a lot of pages indexed in Google and history in Archive.org, then it will appraise for a huge amount there.

Estibot, while it has it's shortcomings, can be surprisingly accurate on a wide range of domains.

Yes I was shocked this week when I popped in about 10 domains and the returned values were certainly prices I would ask from an end-user. Nothing too low but nothing too high either.

I had several domains professionally appraised, and then did them on estibot just for fun. I was impressed with the accuracy, considering it is a bot. Definitely not more than an 15% +/- margin of error from what I experienced.

I am not just another one in this choir group..

Compared to reality. EstiBot does not, perform accurate calculations.
I went to the Sedo front page and let EstiBot value domains with high bids or that were sold. No impressive results. LeapFish did better on several of them. Not all but when I tried, all in all it seemes as if Leapfish and EstiBot were about as right and wrong respectively, thought not in the same way.
And, EstiBot valued some singleworddomains in plural to regfee, so it just cannot be "tuned in" with all basic aspects in mind.

EstiBot valued ehomemortgages.com to $70 (LeapFish $21 ) when it was sold at Sedo for $2500. That is, though in a beta level, a too bad autoappraiser to be used at all.

Edit:
I let EstiBot check it in versals, eHomeMortgages.com . Then voilla,
it raised to $210.

EstiBot is a GREAT service. Josh has taken this project way off the ground.

Don't use LeapFish. They are NOT accurate. Even a little. They appraise based on Archive.org, I sold a name for $11, Leapfish said $33,000, EstiBot: $20.

Estibot is really the best auto appraisal system available out there. thanks to josh

But seriously would you have paid $2500 for ehomemortgages.com ? That seems seriously overpriced to me. But hey I'm no expert.

Bots can't predict bidding wars and stupidity... Estibot is always my first stop when checking out a domain, even before Google and Overture. Very glad to have found it.

Competent: you need to remember that this bot isn't supposed to be a fortune teller. With enough effort and luck you can sell a $250 domain for $2,500, and vice versa, but there is no way to know what will happen. It is supposed to be a guideline, and I think most would agree it is a very good one.
