Pricing · v0.4

Built for builders,
agents, and portfolios.

Free to start. Pay only when you ship. Transaction fees on completed acquisitions are structured by deal size — small enough that founders use us, big enough that we keep the lights on.

§ 04 / Common questions

Plain answers.

Do I need a credit card to start?+

No. Free plan works without one. Pro and Seller tiers prompt for a card only when you upgrade.

How are agent / MCP calls metered?+

Read tools are free up to 1,000 calls/month. Above that, $0.002 per call. Write tools (register, offer, list, DNS) require a one-shot human approval token and are billed at the transaction-fee schedule.

Do you charge the seller, the buyer, or both?+

Both, transparently. Buyer fee is built into the displayed price. Seller fee is deducted from settlement. Each side sees their own line items before signing.

Is Capital (equity-for-domain) priced differently?+

Yes. For equity deals, our fee is 2–5% of the score-anchored equity value at signing, paid in the same instrument. Full breakdown shown on the listing before submission.

Can I bring my own registrar?+

Yes. Connect Cloudflare, Spaceship, OpenSRS, or Namecheap. Registration runs at-cost through your account; we charge nothing on registration. Transaction fee applies only to aftermarket acquisitions.

What happens if a deal falls through?+

Nothing is owed. Fees only apply on completed transfers. Escrow holds the domain until milestones cure; if they don't, the name returns to inventory.

Free until you ship.
Predictable when you do.
