The original curated brandable marketplace, hand-vetting .com names since 2007, with 14,000+ domains sold and $64M+ transacted.
Every purchase includes a professionally designed logo in vector and PNG, plus concierge transfer, and the listed price is final.
No-haggle fixed pricing and lease-to-own plans remove negotiation entirely, which matters for first-time buyers.
A real sell-side channel with genuine buyer traffic, something Unique Domains does not provide because it sells nothing.
The Brandroot (2019) and Novanym (July 2025) acquisitions deepen its invented-name and logo-led catalog.
The fastest path when you want a vetted name today and would rather not do research at all.
BrandBucket is a shelf, and a good one. It stocks hand-vetted brandable .com names, prices them with no haggling, and ships each sale with a professional logo and concierge transfer. Since 2007 it has sold more than 14,000 names and moved over $64M.
A marketplace can only show you what it stocks, and it earns when you buy from that stock. Unique Domains holds no inventory and earns nothing on your transaction. It evaluates the whole one-word market for Fit, Ownability, and Risk, so you see the evidence before you see a checkout button.
That is the division of labor. Use Unique Domains to know whether BrandBucket's shelf has your name, what it should cost, and what else exists. Then buy wherever the winner lives, on BrandBucket or anywhere else.
Open a Project with your naming brief, let the Screener read the market, and pressure-test any BrandBucket candidate against its Fit, Ownability, and Risk bands. Buy where the winner lives and hand off a shareable finalists link. That fits Launch, $29 one-off.
Save intent as a Radar and work incoming Signals. Shortlist to Watchlist, transact on whichever venue holds the name, and track outcomes in Portfolio. Keep BrandBucket as your sell-side channel. That fits Pro, $79/mo with a 3-day trial.
Compare the cost of deciding with the cost of the name. BrandBucket is free until you transact; Unique Domains charges a flat research price and takes nothing when you buy.
Launch, $29 one-off for one month of access, is for founders naming one company. Pro, $79/mo or $55/mo billed yearly, is for investors working dealflow. Explorer is free with no card: live first-page results, basic filters, one Project bundle, and 40 credits a month. A sanitized public preview at /domains needs no account at all, Pro has a 3-day trial, and Launch is a $29 one-off with no trial.
See full pricingBrowsing is free. Listings start around $710, the curated core runs low four figures, and premium names reach seven figures. Sellers pay a $1 per-domain submission fee and a tiered commission, 30% under $10k down to 15% at $100k and above.
If BrandBucket's shelf already has your name and you want the logo, the concierge transfer, and a final price with zero research, paying the listing price directly is the better deal.
Nothing migrates and nothing imports; run Unique Domains before and alongside BrandBucket so the evidence comes before the checkout.
Search the word in the Screener, or start from a Project brief. Prompt search and semantic expansion surface candidates across the curated one-word universe, including names BrandBucket does not stock.
Check each candidate's Fit, Ownability, and Risk bands next to status, ask price, and renewal, with an estimated value beside the ask on Pro. A BrandBucket listing gets the same read as everything else.
Unique Domains links out to the registrar or marketplace holding the winner. If that is BrandBucket, buy there and keep the logo and concierge transfer. Either way, we take nothing on the transaction.
