There are two kinds of appraisals, research appraisals and statistical appraisals. Statististic appraisals are simply computer programs which count for certain metrics, such as domain length, whether or not a hyphen is used, number of search results returned, and so on. Research Appraiasls are generally statistic appraisals but with a person to analyze the results.
Since statistic appraisals are computer run, many free ones exist, such as:

Beware of small companies offering appraisals. THESE ARE USUALLY SCAMS. An example of a SCAM company (again for one of my domains, but a long long time ago when I was unfortunate enough to cross roads with them) is here:
