Karma.Domains is the cheapest serious expired domain finder on the market, and almost nobody has reviewed it from the buyer's side. This one reads the plan table, the credit math and the refund policy, then adds up what one usable domain costs once the tool has done its part.

The short answer
Karma.Domains is a legitimate expired domain aggregator, and a good one for the money. It pulls more than 13 million auction and expired names from over 20 named sources, shows Ahrefs, Majestic, Moz and Semrush metrics, and scores each domain's Wayback history with its own Karma Score. Credit packs start at $14.99, Unlimited is $27.99 for 30 days and Pro is $57.99 a month. It does not sell domains, the refund window is 24 hours, and the backlink judgment stays with you. Use it if you hunt at auction every week. Buy a vetted listing if you need one domain.
Three ways to pay. The list of domains opens without an account, but the names and report data stay hidden until you spend a credit or hold a plan.
| Plan | Price | Credits | Reports | API and MCP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Credit pack | $14.99, $19.99 or $27.99 once | 99, 200 or 400 credits that do not expire | Only the reports you choose to unlock | No |
| Unlimited | $27.99 for 30 days | 2,000 credits for checking your own lists, valid 30 days | Every report in the database | No |
| Pro | $57.99 a month | 4,000 credits for your own lists | Every report, plus webhooks, RSS and saved-filter digests | Yes, 60 requests a minute |
Prices in USD from the plan table and FAQ on karma.domains, read on October 13, 2026. The pricing page also has a yearly toggle; we quote only the 30-day figures we could confirm. New accounts get 5 free credits, and the site was running a promotion for 10 free credits and a 10% lifetime discount on that date. Check the vendor's page before you pay.
The 400 pack costs the same $27.99 as a month of Unlimited. So the packs only make sense if you check a handful of names now and then and want credits that do not expire. Anyone opening reports daily is better off on the 30-day plan.

The home page counted 13,480,053 domains on the day we read it, 12,066,078 of them in live auctions and 1,413,975 expired, with about 411,000 added in the previous 24 hours. Named sources include GoDaddy, Dynadot, Namecheap, DropCatch, NameJet and SnapNames, NameSilo, Sedo, Park.io, Porkbun and GNAME. Watching those one by one is a part-time job.
Most spam scores look at links. The Karma Score reads Wayback Machine snapshots and marks a domain down for casino or pharma pages, sudden topic changes, redirects and long error periods. That catches the classic trap of a clean-looking link profile on a name that spent 2022 as a pill shop.
Rows carry Ahrefs DR, Majestic Trust Flow and Citation Flow, Moz DA, Semrush Authority Score, SimilarWeb visits and Keywords Everywhere traffic value, with filters on each. For a first pass that removes the need to paste every name into three separate tools.
$27.99 for 30 days undercuts SpamZilla at $37 a month and is nowhere near DomCop's $816 a year. Pro at $57.99 adds a public API at 60 requests a minute, an MCP server, webhooks and RSS feeds, which matters if you want filters feeding your own sheet or agent.
It finds, it does not sell. Every row ends in a link to somebody else's checkout. The bid, the buyer fees, the payment deadline and the risk that the previous owner renews are all set by the auction house. Those rules differ more than most people expect, and we lay them side by side on the expired domain auction sites page. If the name sits at GoDaddy, for example, a win lands in your account on day 43 after expiry.
The score judges content, not links. A domain can have a spotless archive and a backlink profile made of sold guest posts, or links that all point at pages you will never rebuild. The metric columns give you counts. Reading the referring domains and the anchors is still a job for you and an Ahrefs or Majestic login.
Everybody on the plan sees the same row. A name with a high Karma Score and real links is visible to every subscriber the same hour. The tool costs $27.99. The auction it sends you to costs whatever the most determined of those subscribers is willing to pay.
The refund window is one day. The policy allows a request within 24 hours of purchase, for a valid reason such as paid features failing, and only while at least two of your free evaluation credits are still unused. Spend the free credits first to test the data and you have, by the letter of the policy, given up the refund. Decide which you want before you start.
A few numbers on the site disagree with each other. The header says 40 plus auction sources and the list names 24. One section says 90 plus filters, another says 50 plus. The credit packs say credits do not expire while the Unlimited table says its credits are valid for 30 days. None of that is a reason to avoid it. It is a reason to test with the free credits before assuming what a plan includes.
The subscription is the cheap part on both sides. What differs is who carries the uncertainty.
| Line | Karma.Domains plus an auction | SEODomain listing |
|---|---|---|
| Access to the data | $27.99 for 30 days on Unlimited | $49 for one month, or $294 for the year |
| Price of the domain | The auction close or backorder fee at the source, unknown in advance | Fixed and shown on the listing |
| Renewal or transfer | Added by most auction houses on top of the bid | Paid at the registrar when you buy |
| Who reads the backlink profile | You, using the metrics and the Karma Score | Done before the name is listed, report handed to members |
| Chance you end with nothing | Real: outbid, or the old owner renews | None once you pay the listed price |
| Time from decision to owning it | Days to weeks, set by the auction calendar | Usually 24 to 48 hours |
Read down the left column and Karma.Domains is the better deal for anyone who buys often. The data fee is lower, the pool is vastly bigger, and a patient bidder will pick up names for far less than a curated list charges. Read down the right column and you see what the higher membership pays for: the checking is finished, the price is known, and nobody can take the name off you in the last five minutes. The listings in our catalogue today are priced from $1,800 to $2,400 with Ahrefs DR from 42 to 51, and that price is the whole price of the name.
Whichever route you take, the name only starts paying once pages are live on it. Line up hosting and a way to deploy the rebuilt site without downtime before the purchase clears, because a strong domain left parked for months gives back much of what you paid for.
Yes. Karma.Domains is a working expired domain aggregator that lists auction and dropped names from sources such as GoDaddy, Dynadot, Namecheap and DropCatch, with SEO metrics and its own Karma Score. It does not sell domains or take payment for them. You pay Karma.Domains for data and buy the name at the auction house or registrar it links to.
Karma.Domains sells credit packs of 99, 200 or 400 credits for $14.99, $19.99 or $27.99, an Unlimited plan at $27.99 for 30 days with every report unlocked and 2,000 credits for your own lists, and a Pro plan at $57.99 a month with 4,000 credits, the public API and MCP access. New accounts get 5 free credits.
The Karma Score is the site's own rating of how clean a domain's past is, built from Wayback Machine snapshots. Toxic content such as gambling or pharma pages, sharp topic changes, redirects and error periods pull it down. It reads the archived content, not the backlinks, so a high score does not tell you the links are worth having.
No. Its own FAQ says it is an aggregator and analytics platform that does not sell domains. Each row links out to the auction, backorder service or registrar holding the name, and the bid, the fees and the payment deadline are set there. Budget for that purchase separately from the Karma.Domains plan.
Only in a narrow case. The refund policy allows a request within 24 hours of purchase, with a valid reason such as paid features materially failing, and only if the account still holds at least two unused free evaluation credits. Requests are reviewed within about two days. Not finding a domain you like is not a listed reason.
It is cheaper and covers more sources. Karma.Domains Unlimited is $27.99 for 30 days against $37 a month for SpamZilla, and it scores archived content where SpamZilla scores link and anchor spam. SpamZilla has the longer track record and a spam score many SEOs already trust. Both leave the final judgment and the auction to you.
If you want a single expired domain and not a research tool, a vetted marketplace is the closer fit. SEODomain lists domains that have already been through the history and backlink checks, shows Ahrefs DR, referring domains and a fixed price on the listing, and gives members the Ahrefs report and a direct purchase link.
Karma.Domains is the best value among the paid finders we have reviewed. It covers more auction sources than its rivals, its history score looks at something the others miss, and $27.99 buys a full month. For a regular bidder it is an easy yes.
It is still a finder. It ends where the buying starts, and the hard parts of buying an expired domain (judging the links, winning the auction, getting the name into your account) are exactly where it hands over to you. If you want those parts done, with the Ahrefs report as proof, a vetted listing costs more per name and less per headache.
