.app vs .community

The .app domain is a newer generic top‑level domain aimed primarily at technology‑focused sites such as mobile applications, software services, and developer portals. Its registration starts at about $8.75 per year, and the extension signals a tech‑oriented audience. The .community domain, also a recent gTLD, targets groups, forums, and organizations that want to emphasize a shared interest or membership, with a slightly lower base price of roughly $8.24 per year. The main trade‑off is branding – .app may convey a more product‑centric image, while .community highlights collective identity, and the price difference is minimal.
