It also unfortunately doesn't support a lot of tlds. I have to use different registrars for that.
As far as I remember, the standard average price for a .com back then was like $10 and route 53 was $12. Wasn't a big problem considering how robust the dns panel was compared to everything else at the time.
For a business with only a few domains, but using AWS for any other services, the convenience of having them in Route 53 is worth the small additional cost.
Agreed - just mildly annoying it gets invoiced separately instead of being bundled in a monthly line-item, but I'm sure there's some contractual reason it has to be that way.

Route53 is by far the most expensive DR for all the tlds I looked at, was your only consideration convenience?

Our most recent renewal cost $12.
