GoDaddy Bulk Appraisal Alternative After the Bulk Domain Appraisal Tool Closed

Short answer: The public GoDaddy bulk appraisal tool no longer exists. GoDaddy launched it in January 2018, let it value up to 100,000 names per run, and shut it down on 8 June 2021. Today a bulk GoDaddy valuation is available only to Domain Discount Club Pro members inside Domain Academy, or through a Premier Services account manager. Everyone else needs a different bulk tool.

If you hold a few hundred names and a renewal bill is coming, that is the practical problem: you need one run that tells you which names to keep, which to list and which to drop. Below is what happened to the GoDaddy tool, what the member version returns now, how its numbers did against real sales in 2026, and what a 1,000-name run costs on each alternative.

Does GoDaddy still have a bulk domain appraisal tool?

Not a public one. GoDaddy discontinued its open bulk appraisal tool on 8 June 2021. A bulk valuation tool still exists inside Domain Academy for Domain Discount Club Pro members, and customers with a Premier Services account can ask their account manager for a bulk appraisal once a month. There is no page where a non-member can paste a list and get values back.

The closure was reported by DomainInvesting.com the day before it happened. The notice on the tool read: "On June 8th GoDaddy will discontinue this tool. The good news is customers with a Premier Services account can still obtain bulk domain appraisals monthly through their account manager." Publisher Elliot Silver wrote that he had used it to screen auction lists and private portfolios, and that it was "helpful in separating domain names that had some value from domain names that were not worth anything." That is still the right job for a bulk appraisal.

What the original GoDaddy bulk appraisal returned

The 2018 tool was more useful than the single-name appraisal most people know, because it showed more than one number. Domain Name Wire, which tested it at launch, listed six fields for every name:

• GoValue. The same estimated retail value the public appraisal page shows.
• Wholesale value. What GoDaddy expected the name to fetch in an expired-domain auction, capped at $1,000.
• List price. What an investor would typically ask, which sits above the GoValue.
• Sale probability at $500. The chance the name sells within a year at $500.
• Sale probability at GoValue. The chance it sells within a year at the appraised value.
• Sale probability at wholesale. The chance it sells within a year at the wholesale figure.

Two limits were clear from day one. Any name GoDaddy judged very valuable showed as "$25,000+" and nothing more, so, as DomainInvesting.com pointed out, ten names worth $100,000 each would total "$250,000+" and the portfolio figure was meaningless at the top. And the wholesale column hit its $1,000 cap constantly, while sitting below what similar names had just fetched at GoDaddy Auctions.

How to get a GoDaddy bulk appraisal now

There are two routes, and both require an existing paid relationship with GoDaddy.

Domain Discount Club Pro. Domain Name Wire's May 2026 review says Pro members get an appraiser in Domain Academy that shows multiple pricing levels, plus a bulk valuation tool that returns the standard GoDaddy valuation alongside TLD registration counts, matching companies in Crunchbase and matching GitHub repositories. The reviewers called the bulk tool "worth looking at" and the multi-level appraiser worse than the main one: it gave Dragonfly.com only an 82.5 percent chance of selling within a year at $1,000. We have not published the membership price because GoDaddy changes it and we could not read it from GoDaddy directly; check it in your account before you subscribe for the tool alone.

Premier Services. Per the 2021 notice, account-managed customers can request a bulk appraisal monthly. If you have an account manager, ask. If you do not, this route is closed to you.

How accurate are GoDaddy valuations across a portfolio?

Good for ordering a list, poor for pricing it. Domain Name Wire's 2026 test found GoDaddy "is currently using a very old model with outdated data" and tends to value most names between $2,000 and $5,000 whatever they are. It no longer shows comparable sales. The reviewers still use it to sort auction lists, because better names tend to land near the top.

Figures from Domain Name Wire, 22 May 2026; we calculated the ratio column. Two of seven sold names came within a factor of two, and one more sat just outside it. Read the last row twice if you are planning renewals. A bulk run that gives a never-registered name $1,410 will tell you to keep names you should drop, and dropping is where a portfolio run saves real money. Read the .ai row if you hold .ai names: the same review notes GoDaddy valued money.ai at $4,321 and concluded it "quite simply can't appraise .ai domain names."

We go through the single-name tool in more depth in how accurate GoDaddy domain appraisal is, and the GoDaddy domain appraisal page covers how the estimator arrives at its number.

GoDaddy bulk appraisal alternatives and what 1,000 names cost

These are the bulk options we could price from the vendors' own pages or from a dated test. The last column is the cheapest way to value 1,000 names in one month on each.

NameWorth and Appraise.net prices were read from their pricing pages in October 2026. Estibot blocks automated reading of its site, so its figure is the commonly reported one. HumbleWorth costs nothing and sorts a list into keep, sell or drop, which makes it the cheapest first pass; it shows no comps, so how accurate HumbleWorth is matters before you act on it. The NameWorth plans are laid out in our NameWorth alternative page, and the one-at-a-time tools in Saw appraisal alternative and the wider comparison of the best domain appraisal tools.

What to look for in a replacement

The old GoDaddy tool got one thing right that most replacements miss: it told you how likely a sale was, not only what the name might fetch. A portfolio decision is a renewal decision, and renewal math needs both. With the wholesale price of a .com rising to $10.97 on 1 November 2026, a 500-name book costs well over $5,000 a year to hold before a single sale. It helps to budget that renewal bill alongside the rest of the business, because the names are a recurring cost line whether or not any of them sell this year.

So ask four things of any bulk tool before paying for it:

1. Does it cover your extensions? A .com-only tool is no use on a book that is a third .ai and .io.
2. Does it call junk junk? If an unregistered test name comes back above $1,000, the drop list it gives you is wrong.
3. Can you see the sales behind each value? A row with no comps is a guess. A row with nine comps in the same extension is a price you can defend to a buyer.
4. What does a full run cost? Per-lookup credits look cheap until you multiply by the size of the list.

Running a portfolio through a comps-backed bulk appraisal

Our bulk domain appraisal takes a pasted list and returns, for each name, a price corridor, the number of sold comps behind it and a list, hold or drop call. The Investor plan runs 1,000 names at a time and costs $49 billed monthly or $24 a month billed annually. Pro Broker runs 10,000 names at a time at $249 monthly or $124 a month billed annually. You can try a single name in the tool at the top of this page first, with no plan.

We are not a neutral party and we are not free. Both plans exist to list names for sale, and we take 12 percent on a completed sale on Investor and 8 percent on Pro Broker. The honest way to use us for this job is to pay for one month, run the book before renewals, drop what has no comps, and list only the names where the corridor justifies holding. If you decide to keep managing the rest elsewhere, our page on domain portfolio management covers the tooling. Plan terms are on our pricing page.

GoDaddy bulk appraisal questions

Is the GoDaddy bulk appraisal tool free?

It was. The 2018 tool cost nothing but needed a token handed out at NamesCon, and it closed in June 2021. The current bulk valuation tool sits inside Domain Academy for Domain Discount Club Pro members, which is a paid membership, or comes through a Premier Services account manager.

How many domains could the GoDaddy bulk appraisal handle?

Up to 100,000 names in one run, according to both Domain Name Wire and DomainInvesting.com at launch in January 2018. Each NamesCon token was good for a single use. GoDaddy has not published a limit for the Domain Academy version that replaced it.

Why did GoDaddy discontinue the bulk appraisal tool?

GoDaddy's notice said the tool "was always intended to be available only for a limited time." DomainInvesting.com's publisher guessed it was not used enough to justify maintaining it. GoDaddy gave no other reason, and it kept bulk appraisals available to Premier Services customers.

What is the best alternative to the GoDaddy bulk domain appraisal?

Pick by what your portfolio holds. For a mixed book with .ai and .io names where you want the comparable sales on every row, a comps-backed bulk run like ours fits and costs $49 for 1,000 names. For a first-pass ranking with no evidence attached, HumbleWorth sorts up to 2,000 names at no cost, and NameWorth at $49.99 a month covers 1,750 .com lookups.
