How .education is priced

4 of the 9 registrars whose .education pricing we have verified price it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 5 discount year one (median renewal 1.3× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $28.15 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.
