Bulk domain appraisal means pricing a whole list of names in one run instead of typing them in one by one. SoldComparables appraises each name in your list from real recorded sales of similar names, then gives you a sortable portfolio table with a value range, a confidence level and the closest comp for every row. Investor takes 200 names per list, Broker takes 1,000.
The difference from a black box number is that every row can be opened. You see which sales the range came from, with price, date, venue and a link to the public report, so you can decide whether you agree before you change a price or drop a renewal.
Who needs bulk domain valuation
If you own ten names you can check them by hand. Past about fifty, people stop checking and start guessing, and guessing is expensive in both directions. A name listed at a flat 2,999 USD that should be at 15,000 USD gets sold cheaply. A name you renew every year at 80 USD or more that will never sell above registration cost bleeds money quietly.
Bulk valuation is for:
- Portfolio investors with a few hundred to a few thousand names who reprice inventory and cull renewals.
- Auction buyers who build a watchlist of expiring names and need a ceiling for each one before bidding closes.
- Brokers who receive a seller's list and must tell them, with evidence, which names carry the value.
- Buyers of whole portfolios, where the asking price is for the lot and the question is how much of it is filler.
How the bulk domain appraisal works
You paste names one per line, or separated by commas, spaces or semicolons. The list is cleaned first: protocols, www. and trailing paths are stripped, duplicates are removed, and a name without an extension is read as .com. Before anything runs you see the count, because each name uses one search from your plan.
A queued job then appraises every name the same way a single search does. Each sold name in our records is split into words, and an embedding language model has precomputed which words are close in meaning, so a list of developer terms finds sales of other developer terms even when no letters overlap. Every comp gets a relevance score from 0 to 100 and the estimate is built from the best of them, with wholesale and retail kept apart.
The comps come from 128,867 recorded sales between 2021-05-28 and 2026-05-28, each from a public sales report, each at least 1,000 USD. The full rules are on our methodology page.
What happens to names with no comps
Most names in a typical portfolio never sold anywhere near 1,000 USD, and nothing similar did either. A bulk tool that still prints a confident four figure number for them is doing you a disservice. When a name has no comparable recorded sale above 1,000 USD, its row says so in the note column and the estimate does not invent a figure. When fewer than three good comps exist, the range widens and confidence drops to low.
For a renewal cull, those rows are the useful ones. Sort by confidence, then by likely value, and the bottom of the table is your drop list.
Reading the portfolio table
Each row carries the same fields as the CSV export:
| Column | What it tells you | How investors use it |
|---|---|---|
| low, likely, high (USD) | The value range the comps support | Likely for buy now prices, low for a floor |
| confidence | High, medium or low | Trust high rows, open low rows before acting |
| comps used | How many recorded sales the range rests on | Fewer than 3 means treat it as a hint |
| top comp and its price | The single closest recorded sale | A quick sanity check on the whole row |
| note | Flags such as no comparable sale above 1,000 USD | Renewal cull and drop decisions |
Open any row and you get the full comps list for that name, the same view as a single search, with filters for extension, price, date, venue tier and length.

GoDaddy ran a bulk appraisal tool from 2018 and later discontinued it. Its rebuilt GoValue model, launched in August 2026, raised the value cap from 25,000 USD to 1 million USD, and GoDaddy's own rollout plan lists bulk valuations through Domain Academy for the fourth quarter. It is a useful second opinion. It does not show comparable sales next to its numbers yet, which is the part a buyer or a seller usually asks for. Our article on GoDaddy domain appraisal accuracy covers the rebuild in detail.
What a bulk list costs
Bulk lists are part of two plans. Investor costs 149 USD a month and takes lists of up to 200 names, with 1,000 bulk names a month. Broker costs 399 USD a month and takes lists of up to 1,000 names, with 3,000 bulk names a month, plus the REST API and white label PDF reports. Yearly billing halves the monthly price on both.
Each name in a list counts as one search and one bulk name in the billing period, taken when the list is accepted. Deleting a list later does not give the usage back, and nothing is unlimited. A 200 name renewal list on Investor uses 200 of its 750 monthly searches, which leaves plenty for single lookups.
To put that in context: one 80 USD renewal you drop because the table showed zero comparable sales, repeated across twenty names, is 1,600 USD a year. One name repriced from a flat 2,999 USD to a comp-backed 12,000 USD pays for several years of the plan.
A practical renewal cull with a bulk list
- Export the names expiring in the next 60 to 90 days from your registrar.
- Paste them into a new bulk list and run it.
- Sort by confidence, lowest first. Rows flagged with no comparable sale above 1,000 USD go to a "probably drop" pile.
- Open the medium confidence rows. If the top comp is a much stronger name than yours, demote the row.
- Keep and reprice the high confidence rows using the likely value, and set the low value as the minimum offer.
The same steps work for a seller's list a broker has been handed, or a portfolio you are thinking of buying. For single names before an auction, the domain value estimator is quicker. Investors who work this way every week should also read our page on tools for domain investors.
