DomainKits Membership Tiers & Updates

Introducing AI Access

AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini have become incredibly powerful research partners. Over the past year, we've seen a growing number of users who prefer working with domains entirely through AI — using natural conversation instead of web interfaces.

We built AI Access for exactly these users.

What is AI Access?

AI Access ($13.99/month) is a standalone subscription that unlocks significantly higher limits when using DomainKits through MCP-compatible AI assistants. It's designed for users who don't need the full Premium web experience but want serious AI-powered domain research capabilities.

  • Works independently — No Premium subscription required. Pairs with a free Member account.
  • Included with Premium — If you're already a Premium member, you automatically enjoy equal or higher MCP limits. No need to subscribe separately.
  • All members have basic access — Even free members can use DomainKits through AI assistants with Member-level limits.
  • 7-day free trial — Try it risk-free.

Who is AI Access for?

  • Developers using Claude, Cursor, or other MCP clients for domain research
  • AI-first researchers who prefer natural language over web interfaces
  • Users building automated domain workflows through AI assistants
  • Anyone who wants higher MCP limits without the full Premium web features

Our commitment to Premium

AI Access does not change anything for existing Premium or Platinum members. Premium already includes MCP limits that match or exceed AI Access. This new plan is purely an addition to serve a different type of user — it does not replace or diminish any existing tier.

As we said from day one: once you register at a certain tier, your limits are locked in. That promise still stands.

Updated Limits (All Five Tiers)

With the addition of AI Access, DomainKits now has five membership tiers. Below are the key limits — other tools (WHOIS, DNS, Safety, etc.) also scale accordingly per tier.

⚠️ Zero Tolerance for Abuse

DomainKits has a strict zero-tolerance policy for abuse. This includes but is not limited to: automated scraping, creating multiple accounts to bypass limits, sharing API keys, reverse-engineering rate limits, or any attempt to circumvent our fair usage policies.

Violations will result in immediate and permanent suspension of your account and all associated accounts, without prior warning or refund.

We actively monitor usage patterns and reserve the right to revoke access at any time.

A note on AI vs. Web experience

DomainKits MCP is designed for conversational AI scenarios — turning large language models like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini into your personal domain research agents. Because of this, the result sizes across all tiers are intentionally different from the web interface. AI conversations work best with focused, digestible results rather than massive data dumps, so we've optimized the output for how AI assistants actually process and present information.

This is a new and evolving experience. We'd love to hear how you use it and what would make it better — your feedback directly shapes what we build next.

As we promised from day one, the benefits of our paid users will always stand. We're also open to feedback and suggestions — our goal is to deliver the best possible experience for every user, at every tier.

📢 January 18, 2026 — Membership Update: Enhanced Experience for All Users Click to expand ▸

Membership Update: Enhanced Experience for All Users

We're excited to announce a new membership tier system at DomainKits. This update is designed to provide a better experience for registered users while ensuring that guest users still have generous access to explore our tools.

Why We Made This Change

As DomainKits has grown, we've learned a lot about how our users work. Some users need quick lookups, while others run hundreds of searches daily for professional domain investing.

Our previous two-tier system (Guest and Member) didn't fully address these different needs. The new four-tier system allows us to:

  • Reward registered users — Your commitment to DomainKits deserves better limits and priority access.
  • Keep DomainKits accessible — Guests can still explore all features with sufficient limits for evaluation and casual use.
  • Support power users — Professional investors and enterprise users now have options that match their workflow.
  • Ensure sustainable growth — A tiered system helps us maintain server performance and data quality for everyone.

Great News for Existing Users

All previously registered members have been automatically upgraded to Premium at no cost!

Your limits remain exactly the same as before — nothing has been reduced. You simply have a new tier name that reflects your enhanced access level.

This is our way of saying thank you to early supporters who believed in DomainKits.

Your Tier Is Locked In

Here's an important promise: Once you register at a certain tier, your limits are locked in.

If we adjust tier limits in the future (for example, if we reduce Member limits), your account will not be affected. You'll keep the limits that were available when you registered.

This means:

  • Register today — You immediately enjoy all the benefits of your tier.
  • No surprises later — Future policy changes won't reduce your existing access.
  • Early adopter advantage — The sooner you register, the better your locked-in limits.

How Search Limits Work

Each of the following actions counts as 1 search:

  • New Search: Starting a search with a new keyword
  • Filter Change: Changing any filter triggers a new search with updated criteria
  • Sort Change: Changing sort order refreshes results
  • Load More: Loading additional results
  • Tool Lookup: Each WHOIS, DNS, Safety, or Backlink lookup
  • Bulk Check: Each bulk check request
💡 Tip: Results stream in real-time. Plan your filters before searching to get the most out of your limits.

Pro Tip: Use Filters to Get Better Results

Worried about result limits? Here's the secret: smart filtering delivers better results than high limits.

DomainKits offers powerful filters that help you find exactly what you need:

  • Domain Age — Filter by registration age (1-5 years, 5-10 years, 10-20 years, 20+ years)
  • Character Type — Pure alpha, pure numeric, alphanumeric
  • Domain Length — Short domains (3-4 chars), medium, or long
  • Keyword Position — Starts with, contains, or ends with your keyword
  • TLD Groups — Filter by gTLDs, ccTLDs, new TLDs, or specific extensions
  • Special Filters — No hyphens, no numbers, premium names only

A focused search with good filters will give you highly relevant domains, far more valuable than 1,000 random results.

Getting Started

  1. Explore as Guest — Try any feature without signing up.
  2. Register for Free — Takes 30 seconds. Instantly unlock Member limits.
  3. Use Filters Wisely — Get precise results that matter.
  4. Upgrade When Ready — Move to Premium or Platinum as your needs grow.

Remember: Register today and your limits are locked in forever, even if we adjust tiers in the future.
