## How .pro is priced

Every one of the 5 registrars whose .pro pricing we have verified discounts the first year. The median renewal is 7.9× the first-year price, so the advertised figure is the least useful number when comparing .pro sellers. Verified renewals run $21.94 to $33.98 a year.

An introductory price 7.9× below the renewal is a rate you pay once. Compare .pro on the renewal column, or on the three-year total.

Computed from the 5 verified .pro prices this site holds, not from every registrar selling .pro.
