Epik
Epik prices close to wholesale and barely promotes: on most extensions the first year and the renewal are the same number, and only a couple of promotions run at a time. The prices here are the standard tier — Epik also quotes cheaper rates to accounts already holding fifty or two hundred domains, which is a price most readers cannot get.
Where it wins
- Among the lowest standing prices anywhere
- First year usually equals the renewal — no cliff
- Full price list served publicly
Where it costs you
- Cheaper tiers exist but require 50+ domains held
- Prices published without naming a currency on the page
- Lighter tooling than the majors
Squarespace Domains
The successor to Google Domains' consumer portfolio now exposes its complete standard plan catalogue directly to the public domain-search client. Domain.Guru combines that feed with Squarespace's official TLD rules, so first-year discounts remain separate from the regular renewal and transfer price while multi-year or non-transferable products never enter the annual board.
Where it wins
- Public USD catalogue with normal and current first-year prices for hundreds of TLDs
- Free WHOIS privacy and a polished standalone domain dashboard
- Official TLD guide documents minimum terms and transfer exclusions per extension
Where it costs you
- Pricing is usually higher than domainer-first registrars
- Some country-code transfers follow special rules and are deliberately omitted from comparisons
- Taxes and available payment methods vary with the buyer's billing location
Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — Epik's on 21 Oct 2026, our last good read, Squarespace Domains's on 1 Nov 2026 — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read
