Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .build domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Over 3 years the lowest total is $75.00 at NicNames ($25.00 | $25.00 | $25.00). Over 5 years it is $125.00, also at NicNames ($25.00 | $25.00 | $25.00 | $25.00 | $25.00).
Is the cheapest first year also the cheapest over time?
NicNames is both the cheapest way to start ($25.00) and the cheapest way to keep it for 3 years ($75.00).
Is the cheapest transfer also the cheapest place to keep it?
NicNames wins both: the lowest transfer fee ($25.00) and the lowest 3-year total ($75.00).
Bottom line
NicNames is the one to beat for .build: $75.00 over 3 years.
.build has two audiences that hardly ever meet: the construction trade, and software developers who talk about "builds" all day. Both can use it, and the name before the dot decides which one you're talking to.
The registry's own registration terms set no eligibility restrictions. Its marketing says it's designed for the building industry, but that's a description of purpose, not a rule.
Plan Bee LLC runs it. It's a small independent company, not one of the big portfolio registries, and its published terms date from 2018.
