CatchDoms as a DomCop alternative
DomCop packs 90+ metrics into a premium expired domain tool that starts at $816/year. CatchDoms offers quality scoring, language detection, and API access at 468 EUR/year, with a free tier to try before you buy.
Why people look for DomCop alternatives
DomCop positions itself as the premium option for expired domain research. It pulls metrics from Moz (DA/PA), Majestic (TF/CF), SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Estibot, giving you 90+ data points per domain. It even has a personal web crawler that checks domains for content. If metric depth is what you care about, DomCop delivers.
The problem is price. The cheapest plan (Newbie) costs $68/month or $816/year and limits exports to 1,000 domains. The Power plan at $96/month gets you more exports. The Guru plan at $118/month adds team features. For individual domain investors, that adds up fast.
Despite the premium pricing, DomCop doesn't have features you might expect: no unified quality score (you compare raw metrics), no language detection, no screenshot previews, no API, and no free tier to evaluate the product before committing.
The combination of high price and missing modern features is what drives people to look elsewhere. You're paying for metric depth, but you're doing all the analysis manually.
Where CatchDoms fits
CatchDoms costs 468 EUR/year (~$505) for the Pro plan, over 40% less than DomCop's cheapest tier. You get a 0-100 quality score that combines age, authority, backlinks, name quality, and TLD into one number. Add language detection, Wayback screenshots on hover, a REST API, MCP for AI assistants, and a real free tier. You won't get 90 metrics, but you'll get a faster, more opinionated workflow.
