DropCatch closed another batch of notable auctions today, with Abakus.com emerging as the headline sale at $18,000. The name drew strong interest from brandable investors and software-focused buyers due to its short structure, spelling familiarity, and global usability.
Below is the full breakdown of the day’s key closes.
1. Abakus.com — Sold for $18,000
“Abakus” is a variant spelling of “abacus,” a globally recognized math and counting tool. The domain ticks all the brandability boxes:
- 6-letter, dictionary-adjacent brand
- Clear link to math, data, AI, analytics, fintech
- Easy to pronounce across languages
- Strong history of usage in startups in Germany, Nordics, Eastern Europe
Why the $18K price makes sense:
Comparable sales show consistent demand for short, single-word brandables:
- Abacus.io → $16,000
- Abacus.ai → high-$xx,xxx (private)
- Numeris.com → $25,000
- Artikus.com → $12,888
Given the trend of analytics/AI companies using soft-ending brandables (“-us”, “-os”, “-is”), $18,000 is perfectly aligned with today’s SaaS naming market.
Possible future use-cases:
Data analytics platform, AI math-bot, accounting SaaS, fintech dashboard, quant-research tool.

Market Insight: Brandables Still Outperforming Legacy Two-words
Over the past 90 days, DropCatch and GoDaddy Auctions show a clear pattern:
- 5L–6L clean brandables are holding $2,000–$8,000 consistently
- AI/analytics/math-themed words are outperforming generic SaaS terms
- Travel & crypto verticals show softer demand but occasional spikes
- .net and .co continue to be opportunistic play rather than core investments
In this environment, Abakus.com’s $18K result indicates premium-brandable liquidity remains strong, especially when names carry linguistic familiarity.
Investor Takeaways
- Variants of dictionary words remain undervalued compared to exact-match .coms — often with similar branding power.
- Analytics and AI themes command higher attention during auctions.
- Short brandables (5L–7L) are still the most liquid asset class after exact-match .coms.
- Best performing categories on DropCatch right now:

For domain investors, Abakus.com at $18K reinforces the idea that global-friendly, math/data-aligned names continue to anchor the brandable market in late 2025.
