You’re likely familiar with the name Dharmesh Shah. He’s the co-founder and CTO of HubSpot, as well as a prolific entrepreneur and domain collector.
I fell in love with a tool he created before I realized he was behind it. Over the years, I’ve tried plenty of domain valuation calculators, and most of them feel like random number generators. They rarely explain how they arrived at the number, and their results are inconsistent at best.
That’s not the case with Agent.AI’s Domain Value tool. It breaks down exactly how it evaluates a domain, using real logic and data. Here’s how it works:
How It Calculates Domain Value
- Recent Market Data
It pulls actual data from current and past domain sales to ground its estimates in reality. - Transaction History
It factors in Dharmesh’s own domain buying/selling experience — and his portfolio includes names like chat.com. - Current Listings
It scans the marketplace for comparable domains that are currently listed for sale. - Advanced Reasoning
It doesn’t just average numbers — it uses intelligent logic to assess brandability, niche appeal, and more. - Transparency
It shows its work, providing context for its valuation and citing comparable sales.
My Results
I ran my domain marketingwithdave.com through the tool and got an estimated value of:
💰 $850
Here’s the breakdown of how it reached that figure:
- .com extension – Highest resale value and liquidity
- Three words, 17 characters – A bit long, which limits versatility and brand appeal
- Personal name (“with Dave”) – Narrows the buyer pool to marketers named Dave
- “Marketing” keyword – Commercial relevance adds value
- Easy to read/pronounce – No hyphens, numbers, or odd spellings
- No public sales history, registered in 2022 – Indicates limited existing goodwill or traffic
- Comparable domains – Recent similar domain prices help validate the range

Conclusion
The valuation of $850 feels fair — maybe even a bit generous — given the domain’s niche appeal and close comparables. While this tool might be more fun than definitive, it stands out for one major reason: transparency.
You actually get to see how the number came together.
If you own a domain (or a few), it might be worth checking this tool every 6–12 months just to see how the market changes. Who knows — your domain might be worth more than you think.
