An appraisal of your domain can inform you of all the information you need to know about your website and other domains, too.
To get an accurate reading of the value and potential of a Domain Appraisal you are selling or buying, it is essential to value its up-to-date value. This is probably why there are so many sites out there with their own appraisal services.
In this article, we handpicked the ten best domain appraisal tools available online. This means that, when the time comes to monetize your website or find a new URL, you won’t be left in the dark.

1. GoDaddy
Starting with a name that’s hard to escape when dealing with domains is what we’re all about. Despite GoDaddy’s massive brand recognition, it’s hard to ignore the brand’s entry into the world of domain.
In addition to providing an estimate of your website’s price, GoDaddy’s Domain Appraisal service explains its reasoning. Several factors are taken into account, including whether or not the domain name includes popular keywords, how long the name is, and how many similar names have recently been sold.
The company also provides users with a list of available domain names that are yet to be registered, just in case you’re looking for a cheap alternative or spot some potential web real estate.
2. Estibot
A good indication of the tool’s purpose can be found in the name – it’s an estimation tool that takes into account a number of variables that go into a Domain valuation, focusing primarily on factors like cost-per-click, keyword optimization, and previous sale price.
With Estibot, you’ll see a wide range of statistics about a given domain, and it can be useful for evaluating the potential of a cheap website with useful metrics like traffic rank. While it’s free to use, users are prompted to register over time in order to perform multiple searches.
3. Valuate
A tool provided by Domaining.com, Valuate is a meticulously detailed appraisal tool that provides scores of data on any domain name.
Among other useful features, Valuate allows users to view details from search results such as approximate traffic, competitors, sales reports, and frequency of website searches. As an added bonus, Valuate checks domain results for trademark issues automatically as well.
Although the service is free, users must register in order to view their results.
4. Sedo
We recommend Sedo if you’re looking for an exact, bespoke, premium website appraisal.
Sedo’s reputation as a premium choice for website evaluation is understandable. Search engine suitability, advertising effectiveness, and buy/sell prospects are all factors taken into account by the tool when analyzing a domain.
Additionally, Sedo has access to the largest database of web sales in the world, which gives it an advantage over its competitors when assessing a domain’s value.
5. Free Valuator
Free Valuator gets multiple perspectives on a website’s valuation, which is something that makes it a great tool.
Users are not only presented with an estimate of the value of a domain, they are also given the option to purchase a professional appraisal as well as a ‘crowd appraisal’, which takes into account multiple valuations.
In addition to useful technical information, Free Valuator also includes Domain Appraisal rankings from both Alexa and Google Pagerank among its search results, giving you a variety of perspectives on the performance of your site.
6. Epik
The Epik Web Appraisal Tool offers both a premium bespoke service and a free service, dependent on signing up.
For a complete view of a domain’s performance and history, Epik works with archive.org and Alexa Rank respectively to bring some external viewpoints to outline some of a website’s past.
Its Fairness Opinion feature is one of Epik’s greatest advantages, making it ideal for serious buyers. Fairness Opinions are sent to the prospective buyer by the website owner when the transaction is completed.
7. MySiteWealth
When it comes to performance, MySiteWealth performs more like a web performance tool than just an appraisal tool. Among the many insights it offers are global traffic rank, website age, estimated daily income, daily page views, Google Index stats, and, of course, estimated domain value. Additionally, you’re given a bar showing what type of software is used at the Domain Appraisal in question.
MySiteWealth offers detailed charts of every metric you could ask for, and if you wish to sum up an overall rating, then they do that, as well – with a ranking out of five stars based on the information displayed.
8. Website Outlook
The data derived from SEMRush is extremely useful in Website Outlook’s results to provide a unique, data-driven look at the structure of a domain.
Users of Website Outlook are able to see a domain’s SEMRush rank, the estimated cost required to attract the same number of visitors from Google AdWords, how many keywords are active across the page, an Alexa rank, the daily page view count, and an estimated value of the Domain Appraisal in question.
It is also designed to show technical information associated with searched domains, and on top of that, it is completely free and requires no registration.
9. StatChest
Its ability to pull domain rankings from Alexa makes StatChest a very useful domain appraisal tool. Additionally, Moz is often consulted before estimating website value.
A key benefit of StatChest is that its colour coordinates its results based on the potential that a searched Domain holds, and provides important registration information so that interested buyers can be aware of the domain’s availability and duration.
StatChest’s safety information, which is contained within search results, is a unique and noteworthy feature of its product over its competitors and can be helpful for determining whether a domain is trustworthy.
10. AppraisalWebDomain
AppraisalWebDomain uses all pictures as part of its analysis and divides its appraisal results into daily, monthly and annual statistics – including expected advertising revenue and page views – so prospective buyers can fully understand the domain names they are researching.
Furthermore, you will be able to check out localized Alexa rankings for a Domain Appraisal that shows exactly where it’s doing well, in addition to bar charts showing its performance on Moz’s rankings.
