For portfolio owners
Score everything before renewal season, drop the bottom band and put the top band on a domain marketplace with a firm ask. If you also list on other platforms, Bolddomains is another place where owners post names for sale.
Bulk domain appraisal for portfolios and drop lists
Upload a CSV or call the API and every name comes back with a 0 to 100 score, a value band and the reasons behind it. Sort the file, renew the strong names, list the middle ones and drop the rest before the renewal date. The same score runs across the daily expiring list, so the names worth a backorder are already ranked. Plans start at $49 a month.

What a bulk appraisal does to a 400 name portfolio
The point of a bulk appraisal is not 400 prices. It is a sorted list. Most portfolios hold a handful of names that earn their keep, a long middle, and a tail that costs a renewal fee every year and never gets an offer. Scoring all of them at once shows you which group each name sits in before the renewal emails arrive.
The table shows how an owner might read the output. The bands and actions are a working method, and the counts are an illustration, not measured results.
| Score band | Illustrative names out of 400 | Typical read | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70 to 100 | 24 | Real words, strong extension, clear vertical demand | Renew, set an asking price, list on a marketplace |
| 50 to 69 | 96 | Sellable with the right buyer, price depends on the end user | Renew, list at a higher ask, review after 12 months |
| 30 to 49 | 140 | Thin demand, longer or awkward, offers are rare | Renew only if the fee is small, offer at wholesale |
| 0 to 29 | 140 | Hyphens, digits, long strings, weak extensions | Let it expire, stop paying the fee |
Illustrative split. Your portfolio will differ, which is the reason to score it.
Dropping 140 names at a $10 to $12 annual renewal is a bill of roughly $1,400 to $1,700 a year that goes away. That is the number to compare with the plan price, not the appraised value of any single name.
How to run a bulk domain appraisal
-
01
Export your names
Pull a list from your registrar, one full domain per row. Keep the renewal date column if you have it.
-
02
Upload the CSV
Drop the file into your account or send the names to the API. Pro and Portfolio take larger batches than Starter.
-
03
Sort by score and drivers
Read the top drivers behind each score, such as extension, word count, length and vertical demand, and overrule the model where you know better.
-
04
Act on the bands
Renew and list the top bands, let the bottom band lapse, and send the middle to a domain marketplace with an asking price.
Bulk domain appraisal options compared
Every automated appraisal reads similar inputs: keywords, length, extension, search demand and recorded sales. What differs is how many names you can run, whether the model explains itself and what you can do next.
| Option | Price | Bulk input | Shows why | After the number | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domaining | $49, $149 or $499 a month | CSV upload and 50,000 API requests on Portfolio, 20 names in the estimator | 0 to 100 score with top drivers | Backorders, rules, watchlist, auctions, marketplace, escrow | Owners who score a portfolio and investors who score the drop list |
| GoDaddy appraisal | No charge on the public page | One name per lookup with a daily limit, API on business terms | A value and some comparable sales | Links into GoDaddy listings and auctions | A quick check on one name |
| EstiBot | Paid tiers, see the vendor site | Bulk lookups with daily limits per tier | Many raw data points per name | Nothing, you buy elsewhere | Researchers who want wide data per name |
| NameBio | Search is open, paid membership for deeper history | Search and filters, no bulk scoring | Real reported sales, no score | Nothing, it is a sales database | Checking comps before a large purchase |
Where the others win: GoDaddy costs nothing for a single name, EstiBot exposes more raw data per name and NameBio shows what names actually sold for, which no model can replace. Where we win: the whole file is scored in one pass, the score explains itself and the same plan can act on it. Pair the score with sold comps for anything you would price above a few hundred dollars. Our EstiBot alternative page covers that tool in more detail.
For drop list buyers
The expiring domain list arrives scored. Set a rule such as ".com, score 60 or more, up to $150" and the matching names are backordered through backorder rules without a daily review.
For brokers and agencies
Appraise a client portfolio in one upload, export the scored CSV and use seats on team plans. API access lets you plug scores into your own sheets and reports.
Bulk domain appraisal questions
How do I appraise many domains at once?
Upload a CSV with one name per row, or send names to the API. Each name comes back with a 0 to 100 score, a value band and the drivers behind it. Portfolio includes 10,000 appraisals a month with CSV upload and 50,000 API requests. The estimator takes 20 names without an account.
Is there a bulk domain appraisal tool that is free?
Single lookups on public checkers are free but run one name at a time with daily limits. For a portfolio, the cost that matters is the renewal bill on weak names. Domaining Starter at $49 a month scores 100 names, and the estimator checks 20 without an account.
How accurate is a bulk domain appraisal?
Good for ranking, weak for pricing. Any automated model sorts a list of 500 names into strong, middle and weak far better than it names a sale price for one brandable. Use the score to decide where to spend your attention, then confirm anything over a few hundred dollars against reported sales.
Can I appraise a list of expiring domains in bulk?
Yes. The daily expiring list on Domaining arrives already scored, so there is nothing to upload. Filter by extension and score, then place backorders by hand or let a rule do it up to the price cap you set.
What does a bulk appraisal CSV need to contain?
One column with the full domain name, such as example.com. Extra columns, such as renewal date or registrar, are carried through to the export so you can sort the scored file against your own data.
Which plan includes bulk appraisal?
Portfolio at $499 a month includes bulk CSV upload, 10,000 appraisals a month and 50,000 API requests. Pro at $149 a month includes 1,000 appraisals with CSV export. Starter at $49 includes 100 appraisals.
Score the whole list and stop paying for weak names
Upload a CSV, read the score and the reasons, then renew, sell or backorder by rule. Plans start at $49 a month.
