## How .pro is priced

2 of the 10 registrars whose .pro pricing we have verified price it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 8 discount year one (median renewal 8.1× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $21.94 to $63.98 a year.

A flat seller and a discounted one can look identical in year one and differ sharply by year three, so compare the renewal or the multi-year total.

Computed from the 10 verified .pro prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .pro.
