While the domain costs $8.99/year, you have to "deposit" money to your account that the cost is subtracted from, and if you do it with a credit card there is a small fee associated. I think you can deposit $10.00, from which they take $1.00, then they give you a $0.25 "rebate", leaving you with $0.26 in your account once you've paid for the domain. It varies depending on how much you deposit, but in general I just think of it as more like $10.00/year for a domain.
That being said, I'd pay a lot more than that just for their clean (although slightly dated looking) interface. I'll be switching the rest of my domains to them in another month or so.

- philh 16y agonearlyfreespeech is primarily a hosting service, with the distinction that you only pay for the storage and bandwidth that you actually use. So the way they bill you is, you put say $20 into your account with them and they'll deduct small amounts at a time from that. I guess most people using their registrar service also use them as a host, so it makes sense to pay for it in the same way.
