## How .app is priced

Every one of the 4 registrars whose .app pricing we have verified discounts the first year. The median renewal is 1.6× the first-year price, so the advertised figure is the least useful number when comparing .app sellers. Verified renewals run $14.50 to $22.98 a year.

Compare .app on the renewal column rather than the first-year price.

Computed from the 4 verified .app prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .app.
