Karma.Domains review, an expired domain finder with history checks

What Karma.Domains is and who it is for

Karma.Domains is an expired domain search tool. It pulls in expired domains, auction domains, backorders and buy now listings from dozens of auction sources, then checks each domain's history in the Wayback Machine to show whether the old site was clean or spammy. It does not sell domains itself. Each domain report tells you where the name is listed, and you buy it on that platform or register it with a registrar if it has fully dropped.

It is aimed at SEO specialists, link builders and domain investors who want an aged domain with real backlinks and a clean history, and at anyone who wants to check the past of a domain before building on it. The vendor's own about page says it helps people find domains for PBN networks, so be aware that part of its audience uses expired domains for link schemes that Google's spam policies target. Buying an expired domain for a real project or a brand is a different use, and the history checks help with both.

The company says its main development team is in Buenos Aires and support and marketing work from Bali. The founder is listed as Roy Royan, with co-founder Lucy Kim running support. The about page also lists ChatGPT and Cursor AI as "developers", which tells you this is a small team building quickly with AI tools.

Key features

Auction expired domains from 40 sources, with the current bid and price

The homepage lists 40 auction sources, including GoDaddy (auctions and closeouts), DropCatch, Dynadot, Namecheap, NameJet/SnapNames, Sedo expiring domains, Namesilo, Park.io, Porkbun, Nicsell and several smaller ccTLD registries. The vendor says more than 400,000 expired domains are processed every day, and the live counter showed about 13.7 million domains in all databases and roughly 322,000 added in the last 24 hours when the page was checked. Bid counts and prices update automatically, so a report should match what the auction source shows.

Not every domain gets the full analysis. The FAQ says it prioritizes auction domains by price and bidding activity, and expired domains with at least two years of Wayback history that are not blacklisted.

Domain history report, toxic topics, redirect and error checks

The core idea is content analysis of domain history. Karma.Domains reads Wayback Machine snapshots, shows the ones that changed in a meaningful way, and flags toxic topics such as pharma spam, gambling, adult content, piracy, hacked redirects and doorway pages. It also tracks changes in language and topic, redirects, and access errors such as 4xx and 5xx status codes over time. Each domain gets a Karma Score, a proprietary metric based on those snapshots, and the vendor says the report shows the reasons behind it rather than a single unexplained number. Newer additions include an AI summary of what sites were hosted on the domain and an AI category for each report.

Domain filters by name, language and SEO metric

The domain list has more than 90 filters, grouped into core, name, auction and metrics filters. Metrics filters take a min and max value and cover Ahrefs (Domain Rating, URL Rating, Ahrefs Rank), Majestic (Trust Flow, Citation Flow, backlinks and referring domains, topics, language), Moz, Semrush and SimilarWeb traffic, and there is a Trustpilot filter for rating and review count. Name filters look at the domain name itself: gTLDs and ccTLDs, domain length, numbers, hyphens in the domain, letter and vowel patterns, word count and a Brand Score. Name type, industry and language are judged by an AI model, and the changelog says plainly that this can be wrong. You can save a custom filter and reuse it, and preset filters cover common auction and buy now searches.

Your own domain lists, free checkers and automation

You can upload your own list of domain names and run it through the same history analysis. Separate free tools (domain authority, age, expiry, spam score, DNS, WHOIS, backlinks, traffic) give 10 domain checks a day without an account, then cost one credit per domain. A Chrome extension shows domain age and the Karma Domain Metric next to Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo results. The Pro plan adds a Public API (with Python, TypeScript and CLI clients), an MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor, and webhooks that post to Zapier, Make or n8n when a saved filter finds new domains or an auction changes.

Karma.Domains pricing

Prices are in USD. A new account gets 5 free credits to try the domain list.

Payment is by card, and the FAQ says some cryptocurrencies are accepted. There is a refund policy page. I did not see a lifetime plan on the vendor's site.

Limits and drawbacks

• It finds and scores domains but does not buy them. You still need accounts with each auction house or registrar, and the price you pay is set there.
• Coverage is selective. Domains with less than two years of Wayback history or no auction activity may not get the full report.
• The marketing pages are not always in step. The vendor's own Spamzilla comparison still mentions around 30 filters, while the homepage says 90+.
• Public customer feedback is thin. The Chrome extension had 74 users and a single rating when checked, and I could not find a body of independent reviews.
• Support is by email (the FAQ says replies usually come within 24 hours), and the team is small.

Alternatives

• Spamzilla is the best known paid tool for expired domains with a spam score, and the one Karma.Domains positions itself against.
• ExpiredDomains.net is a long-running free list of expiring and deleted domains, with less history analysis.
• Ahrefs or Majestic on their own, if you only need backlink checks on a shortlist and are happy to read Wayback history by hand.

Verdict

Karma.Domains is a focused expired domain tool with a sensible pricing model, especially the credit packs for occasional buyers. Its strength is the Wayback history work, which saves a lot of manual snapshot reading when you are sorting through auction lists. The weak points are the small team, thin public reviews and a few marketing pages that lag behind the product. I would pick it if you buy expired domains a few times a month and want the history check done before you bid. If you only need backlink data on one or two names, a credit pack or the free checkers are enough.
