dotDB answers one question extremely well: how many domains contain this keyword, across which extensions. That count is real demand evidence, pulled from zone files covering 350M+ registered domains, and many investors treat it as a core market signal.
Unique Domains starts where the count ends. Search the word in the Screener, read its word profile and market context, and judge it with Fit, Ownability, Risk bands. Save the intent as a Radar and let Signals bring the next candidates to you.
The two are not substitutes. dotDB is the data line-item, Unique Domains is the workflow line-item, and some investors carry both: counts to size demand, bands to decide, Watchlist and Portfolio to track what happens next.
You do not need registration counts to name a company. Start a Project, write the brief, let a Radar surface candidates from the Screener's curated one-word universe, and finish with a shareable finalists link. One sprint, one month. Fits Launch.
Keep dotDB for saturation evidence and momentum. Add the decision loop: Fit, Ownability, Risk bands on each candidate, Signals dealflow from your Radars, Watchlist and Portfolio for tracking, CSV export for your models. Fits Pro.
Compare line-items, not price tags: dotDB is the data subscription, Unique Domains is the decision workflow, and some investors carry both.
Launch is $29 one-off for one month, for founders naming one thing. Pro is $79/mo, or $55/mo billed yearly, with a 3-day trial, for investors who want evaluation, Signals dealflow, and Portfolio tracking. 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 pricingAs of July 2026: guest access is 10 searches per day, free members get 30. Paid tiers are recurring, Basic $12.99/mo, Pro $42.99/mo, Expert $99.99/mo, with Bulk Search and 3,000 tracked domains reserved for Expert.
If saturation counts a few times a week are all you need, dotDB's free access or its $12.99/mo Basic tier is the better deal.
Not a migration, a pairing: add the decision layer in three steps, and keep dotDB as your saturation cross-check.
Describe what you hunt, styles, endings, budget, and save it as a Radar. Nothing to import from dotDB; bulk keyword ingestion is not something we do.
Radar generates Signals as matching drops land. Open each candidate in the Screener and judge it with Fit, Ownability, Risk bands plus its word profile and market context.
Move real candidates to the Watchlist with tags and notes, or into Portfolio once you own them. When a saturation count would settle a debate, check dotDB; that stays its job.
