CatchDoms vs JustDropped
JustDropped is a monitoring tool: it watches domains in hold, redemption and pending-delete status, estimates the drop day, and alerts you on keywords. CatchDoms is a catalogue: 22 sources scored 0-100 with SEO metrics, plus deleted ccTLD domains and a weekly pending-delete list on its Authority plans. One is built around the drop calendar, the other around the metrics.

Why people compare these two tools
JustDropped describes itself as built by a domainer, for domainers. You search domains in hold, redemption, pending-delete and new-registration status, set keyword alerts (50 or 100 keywords on the paid plans), track specific names, run WHOIS lookups, and get day-level drop estimates based on registry hold periods. Pro subscribers can download six days of pending-delete drop lists in advance. There's a JD Score on paid plans; other SEO metrics aren't listed on the site.
CatchDoms works from the metrics side. Every row from 22 sources carries Trust Flow, Citation Flow, Domain Authority, backlinks, referring domains, Wayback age, the detected language and a 0-100 score, plus Top BL badges when a sampled referring domain is Wikipedia, a news outlet or a developer site. Authority adds 183,537+ deleted ccTLD domains re-checked for availability; Authority+ adds a weekly pending-delete list classified by WHOIS status (2,057,730+ actionable domains), which is the part that overlaps with JustDropped.
Pricing: JustDropped has a free plan (10 searches a day, 50 results, 3 saved searches, 5 tracked domains), Intermediate at $25 a month and Pro at $50 a month, monthly billing only. CatchDoms sells yearly plans: Pro 468 EUR, Authority 948 EUR, Authority+ 1,788 EUR, with the API and the MCP server from Pro. Per month that's roughly 39, 79 and 149 EUR.
Which one fits depends on what you buy. If you catch names for their brandability and you live on the drop calendar, JustDropped's alerts and drop lists do the job at $25 to $50 a month. If you buy on SEO history, ccTLDs included, the metrics and the deleted-domain database are on CatchDoms.
What CatchDoms does differently
CatchDoms is a discovery and research catalogue, not a monitoring tool. Pro, at 468 EUR a year, gives you 22 sources with Trust Flow, Citation Flow, Domain Authority, backlinks, referring domains, Wayback screenshots on hover, language detection in 30+ languages, Top BL badges, a 0-100 score, favourites with notes and tags, saved searches with email alerts, CSV export, the REST API and the MCP server. Authority adds the 183,537+ deleted ccTLD domains; Authority+ adds the weekly pending-delete list with WHOIS status and drop dates. You buy from the source platform at its price.

Switch if...

- You work with ccTLDs (.fr, .de, .it, .nl, .co.uk) and want deleted ones re-checked for availability
- You want to filter the catalogue by who links to a domain (Wikipedia, press, tech sites)
- You want the API and the MCP server for scripts and AI assistants
Stay if...
- You watch specific keywords and want an alert the day a matching name enters hold or redemption
- You want six days of pending-delete drop lists in advance for $50 a month
- You catch brandable names by pattern (CVCV and similar) rather than by metrics
- You prefer month-to-month billing under 50 dollars

Frequently asked questions
JustDropped: free (10 searches a day, 50 results), Intermediate $25 a month, Pro $50 a month, monthly billing. CatchDoms: Pro 468 EUR a year, Authority 948 EUR a year, Authority+ 1,788 EUR a year, roughly 39, 79 and 149 EUR a month. JustDropped is cheaper as a monitoring tool; CatchDoms Pro is the cheaper way to get SEO metrics, an API and an MCP server in one subscription.
Its site lists a JD Score on paid plans, WHOIS lookups and drop estimates, but no Domain Authority, Trust Flow or backlink data. CatchDoms shows Trust Flow, Citation Flow, Domain Authority, backlinks, referring domains, PageRank, Wayback age, language and a 0-100 score on every row.
There is a free plan: 10 domain searches a day, 50 displayed results, 3 saved searches, 5 tracked domains, no export, no keyword alerts. CatchDoms has a free tier with 10 visible domains and a 7-day Pro trial at signup.
They overlap here. JustDropped covers hold, redemption and pending-delete with day-level estimates and, on Pro, drop lists six days ahead. CatchDoms Authority+ publishes a weekly pending-delete list classified by WHOIS status across ccTLDs and gTLDs with predicted drop dates, next to the SEO metrics of the rest of the catalogue. Keyword alerts on drops are a JustDropped feature; metrics on drops are a CatchDoms one.
