Feb 25, 2019 at 9:31 comment added Patrick Mevzek .dev EAP finishes in 3 days, but even the last day price is higher than $99 at registry. If I search right now on registry's registrar website is clearly shows $350 + $12/year showing the EAP period. As for premium domains, it obviously depends on the domain. As for "I could not find any website that can query registrar prices for a single domain" it is because registrars do not provide API for their prices, you would need to scrape their websites.

Feb 24, 2019 at 21:52 comment added Cobertos This answers why registrars had all the premium domains around the same ballpark price, makes sense. Also, right now I could not find any website that can query registrar prices for a single domain and aggregate them, only prices over a whole TLD, which obviously becomes inaccurate with this scheme. I was also so curious because I found premium .dev domains for as high as $500/year when if you go to Google Domains (where .dev is being launched by Googles registry, "Charleston Road Registry") the prices are like $99/year even during EAP!
