How .studio is priced

2 of the 9 registrars whose .studio pricing we have verified price it flat, first year the same as every renewal, while the other 7 discount year one (median renewal 2.7× the promotional price). Verified renewals run $32.29 to $87.98 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.
