Hover
Hover charges more and hides nothing: no upsells, no teaser pricing, famously clean checkout. You pay a convenience premium for calm.
Where it wins
- Cleanest checkout in the industry
- Honest flat pricing
Where it costs you
- Premium prices at every horizon
- Few promos
INWX
A German registrar with one of the strongest public price feeds in the market: an extensive catalogue, separate lifecycle terms, restore, trustee, privacy and promotion metadata in one anonymous response. Domain.Guru ranks only rows whose registration, renewal and transfer each buy a comparable one-year term; no-year transfers remain outside that ranking instead of masquerading as bargains.
Where it wins
- Official anonymous JSON feed with retail lifecycle prices
- Independent periods and prices for registration, renewal and transfer
- Promotion windows, privacy, trustee and restore metadata are explicit
Where it costs you
- Hundreds of transfers do not add a year and therefore are not mixed into the standard transfer ranking
- Volume tiers exist separately and are deliberately excluded
- EU VAT depends on buyer status and destination
Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — Hover's on 1 Nov 2026, INWX's on 1 Nov 2026 — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read
