Daily Poll: Do You Pay for Any Domain Tools?

I use a variety of domain tools to help buy and sell domain names. Some of my current favorite providers of domain tools include DomainTools, DomainIQ, Estibot, Dropping.com, NameBio, Whoisology, Archive.org, and a few others.

Some of the tools I use are free, some are paid, and some are a mix of free and paid depending on the tool(s) being used. Without a combination of these tools, it would be much harder for me to operate my business. That said, it might be hard to justify the expense of some of the tools if I wasn’t already earning enough money to pay for them.

I am curious what percentage of readers pay for the tools they use or simply use what they can get for free. Please share in the poll below:
