.app inherits .dev's HSTS-preload posture — HTTPS is mandatory and there is no fallback. The semantic 'this is a product, not just a homepage' fits well for B2C and B2B SaaS landing pages.

Adoption is strong: Slack used app.slack.com long before web apps were universal, and many post-2020 mobile-first brands lead with .app rather than .com when the .com is unavailable or expensive. Renewal prices stayed sensible in 2026 thanks to broad registrar competition.

Best for

consumer apps, product landing pages, mobile-first brands.

Renewal price across registrars $15–$22 per year. First-year promotional pricing may differ.
