Which prices should you compare?
First-year registration
Useful for the immediate payment, although promotion eligibility can vary.
Renewal and long-term cost
Long-term projects should prioritize renewal and 3- or 5-year ownership totals.
Services and control
Also verify privacy, DNSSEC, multi-factor authentication, domain lock, and transfer-out procedures.

Common questions
Which registrars does TLDScope currently compare?
TLDScope currently compares NameSilo, Dynadot, Name.com, and GoDaddy. More registrars will be added after their pricing fields, fee treatment, and data reliability are reviewed.
Do first-year wins identify the best registrar?
No. It only counts the lowest first-year price across currently recorded TLDs; it does not measure service, security, every extension, or long-term value.
Why can a specific domain have a different price?
A specific name may be registered or premium, while promotions, region, taxes, and account eligibility can change checkout totals.
