I found namecheap to be way cheaper in most cases.

I was gonna use google's new domain product since I'm a huge Google fanboy, but it ended up being 10x pricier in some cases and the interface isn't as powerful (maybe for the better, but ymmv).

Out of maybe total 10-15 domains I own now, most are .com .net .in .us & a single .one. Com renewal at dynadot is 9, at Namecheap it is 13. transfers are same, around 9.

Net renewal is again $11/15 at Dyna/Namecheap. Transfers are same, $11.

.in renewals are $7/$12, transfers same $7.

I mostly prefers renewals because of inertia of moving nameservers and or other DNS records. I sometime transfer between namecheap and Dynadot. Most of my purchases are multi year.

*All prices rounded roughly to nearest dollar.

+1 for having same experience at Google, living in Google verse 24/7, but google.domains is expensive.
