Sav Marketplace Alternative: Curated Domain Names for Sale at a Fixed Price
Sav lists thousands of names from thousands of sellers. We sell one catalogue that we own: brandable domains in .com, .ai and .io, each with the price on the card and Escrow.com on every sale.
537 priced names in stock right now, 122 of them under $1,000. Transferred to the registrar you already use.
Search the catalogue
Type a word, a sound or an industry. Every result shows a buy-now price.
The short answer: Sav is a cheap, legitimate registrar whose marketplace is an open bazaar. Anyone can list a name from $10 to $10 million, Sav takes 4% from the seller, and Sav itself says it is neither the owner of the names nor an escrow agent. If you want the widest choice of low-priced names and are happy to open a Sav account, it is a fine place to shop. If you want a shortlist of brandable .com, .ai and .io names from a single owner, with Escrow.com holding the money and the name pushed to your own registrar, a curated catalogue like ours is the closer fit.

Sav Marketplace vs BoldDomains for Buyers
Sav figures come from its Domain Name Marketplace Agreement and its seller pages. Both are legitimate places to buy; the differences are who owns the name, who holds the money and how the transfer runs.
| What buyers care about | BoldDomains | Sav marketplace |
|---|---|---|
| Who sells the name | We do. It is our own portfolio | Independent sellers. Sav states it is not the owner of listed names |
| Selection | A curated catalogue of brandable .com, .ai and .io names | Open listings from $10 to $10M, plus auctions and expired-name auctions |
| Price range | 30 names under $500 and 122 under $1,000 | Set by each seller; many cheap names because commission is only 4% |
| Who holds your money | Escrow.com, a licensed escrow company, on every sale | Sav holds the funds; third-party escrow only at Sav's option |
| Payment method | Whatever Escrow.com accepts, including wire | Sav picks; sales above $1,000 may require a wire |
| Where the name lands | Your own registrar account | Your Sav account; you can move it out afterwards |
| Transfer time | Starts once escrow confirms payment | Fast if the name is already at Sav; up to 15 days, or may fail, if it is at another registrar |
| Extra charges at checkout | None added by us; the escrow page lists every charge and who pays it | A renewal fee on some listings and the transfer-in fee when the name is elsewhere |
| Negotiation | Make an offer on any listing | Buy now at the seller's price, or bid in an auction |
| Best for | Founders who want a brandable name from one accountable seller, in .com, .ai or .io | Bargain hunters and investors who want the widest range and auctions |

Buying a Domain Here, Step by Step
Shortlist on price
Every card shows the buy-now figure, so you filter by budget before you get attached to a name.
Buy or make an offer
Pay the listed price, or send an offer with the number your budget allows. There is one seller, so there is one answer.
Fund escrow
Escrow.com holds the money until the name is yours. Our breakdown of Escrow.com fees for domain buyers shows every charge.
Receive the transfer
The domain moves into the registrar account you already use. You own it outright, with no new account to open.
When a Sav Marketplace Alternative Makes Sense
You are spending four figures
Sav's agreement lets it demand a wire on any sale above $1,000 and says it is not acting as an escrow agent. For a name that costs as much as a laptop, many buyers would rather a licensed escrow company hold the money. Every sale here runs through Escrow.com. Our domain escrow page walks through it.
You need the name this week
When a Sav listing lives at another registrar, the seller has five days to produce the auth code and the inbound transfer can take up to 15 days, or fail. A single owner removes the waiting on a stranger. If launch day is fixed, start with our two-word domains, the deepest part of the catalogue.
You want a brand, not a bargain bin
An open marketplace means scrolling past thousands of typos, hyphens and expiring leftovers. Our 253 .ai, 230 .com and 37 .io names were picked to be brandable, so a search returns names you could actually build on. See the brandable domains.
Where Sav Is the Better Choice
Sav's 4% seller commission is one of the lowest in the aftermarket, and it shows in the prices. Sellers who would add 20% or 30% to cover a broker or a curated marketplace can list at Sav for close to what they actually want. If your budget is a hundred dollars and you are flexible on the name, you will find more options there than in any curated catalogue, ours included.
Sav also runs auctions, including auctions for expiring names, and a backorder service. We sell a fixed catalogue at fixed prices and do neither. And if you already keep your domains at Sav, a purchase of a name that is also registered there is a quick internal move with no transfer at all.
If you are weighing other open marketplaces as well, we compared Afternic against our catalogue and Sedo against our catalogue in the same honest format. For a trust check on Sav itself, read whether Sav.com is legit for buying a domain.
Sav Marketplace Alternative FAQ
What is a good alternative to the Sav marketplace?
For a buyer who wants a curated, brandable name rather than a search through thousands of third-party listings, BoldDomains is a direct alternative to the Sav marketplace. It sells its own portfolio of .com, .ai and .io names at fixed prices, runs every sale through Escrow.com and transfers the name to the registrar you already use.
Is Sav.com legit?
Yes. Sav is an ICANN-accredited registrar, launched in 2019 and based in Chicago, and its marketplace completes real sales. Its own agreement says Sav is not the owner of listed names and not an escrow agent, so the seller is a third party and Sav processes the payment and the transfer between the two accounts.
How long does a Sav marketplace transfer take?
If the name is already registered at Sav, it moves between Sav accounts once Sav verifies the buyer's funds. If it sits at another registrar, Sav's marketplace agreement says the transfer into the buyer's Sav account may take up to 15 days, or may fail, and the seller has five calendar days to hand over the authorization code.
Does Sav use escrow for domain sales?
Only at its option. Sav's marketplace agreement says it is not acting as a trustee or escrow agent and that a transaction may be handled by a third-party escrow service Sav designates. Sav holds the buyer's funds itself and does not release the domain until the payment is verified.
Can I pay for a Sav marketplace domain with a credit card?
Often yes for smaller purchases, but Sav reserves the right to require any payment method, and its agreement says sales above $1,000 may require an immediate and irreversible method such as a wire. A chargeback after purchase lets Sav terminate the registration or take the domain back.
How much does Sav charge to sell a domain?
Sav charges sellers a 4% commission on marketplace sales, far below the 10% to 30% most marketplaces take. Buyers pay the listed price plus any renewal fee added at checkout and, when the name is at another registrar, the transfer-in fee. The low commission is why many Sav listings are cheap.
