Good writeup, the "Redacted for Privacy" section clears up a common misconception. On the comparison table, for anyone who does hit the bulk or historical WHOIS need you mentioned, WhoisFreaks covers both (bulk WHOIS API and WHOIS history with past registrant/registrar changes), along with domain reputation and typosquat detection if you're doing the fraud-prevention side of this at scale.

Thanks, Furqan! Glad you found the privacy section useful. And yes, bulk and historical WHOIS are important use cases once the need goes beyond quick domain checks.
