.App Domains vs the Other App Extensions
If you are naming an app, .app is not your only option. Here is how the extensions app founders actually choose between compare on registry, security, cost, and fit.
| Extension | Registry | Notable trait | Typical retail price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .app | Google Registry | HTTPS enforced by default via the HSTS preload list | About $14 to $20 a year | Consumer mobile and web apps that want a clear "this is an app" signal |
| .io | Identity Digital | Roughly 1.9 million registrations, a developer default | About $35 to $60 a year | Developer tools, APIs, and B2B SaaS |
| .dev | Google Registry | Also HTTPS-only via HSTS preload | About $12 to $22 a year | Engineering teams, docs sites, and developer brands |
| .com | Verisign | About 163 million registrations, the default worldwide | Around $12 to $22 a year, aftermarket names cost more | Any app planning to raise money or run paid user acquisition |
Registry prices vary by registrar and change over time. Check current pricing at your registrar before you commit.
Are .app premium domains worth it over a .com?
A premium .app is worth it when the exact word you want is free on .app but taken or unaffordable on .com, and your product lives inside an app store where the suffix reinforces the pitch. If you plan to raise venture money or buy ads at scale, most founders still secure the .com, because that is the address customers type from memory.
Is .app or .io better for a software startup?
Pick .app for a consumer-facing mobile product and .io for a developer or B2B tool. The .io extension reads as technical and infrastructure-focused, while .app reads as a finished product a person downloads. Both rank the same in Google, so choose the one your specific audience recognizes fastest.
