Endings

The 8 most used of the 19 top-level domains these lookalikes sit under.

Where they are registered

For the 99 with a registrar in WHOIS (75% of all). Brand-protection registrars mostly hold defensive registrations made by brands themselves, so a domain there is more likely the brand's own than an imitation.

What the live ones do

14 of these lookalikes were registered and checked for a website and mail: 4 (29%) served a website and 9 (64%) publish MX records, so they can receive email. Checks run on the higher-severity matches that resolve, not on every lookalike.

Google Web Risk lists none of the 4 live ones checked against it.

5 were tracked while live and 0 have since gone down. See what to do about a lookalike.

Recent examples

The 10 most recent, written with [.] so they cannot be clicked. The brand's own domains and registrations held by brand-protection registrars are left out. A lookalike resembles Snapchat; it is not necessarily malicious, and none of these is a claim about who registered it or why.
