Always look at the 10 year cost of a domain. Add everything to cart that is interesting, crank the term up to 10 years then pick what seems the most reasonable.

Yes, that's what I find interesting about this. It's $3/year for first year and renewal, and you can do up to 10 years. It's also from a reputable registrar not one you've never heard of.

You get what you pay for. Even the name sounds a bit spammy (like xyz). "Vanity-plate" TLDs also seem to have a lot less regulatory limits/caps - so don't be surprised if the annual rate fluctuates widely unlike the more stable TLDs (com, org, and net).

Maybe the registry (https://uniregistry.link/launch-schedule/) is running a promotion. A .click domain is 1.80 USD first year on namecheap currently.
