Sorry, just saw this thread today.
Leapfish is two things: 1. free and 2. automated. Now I'm not usually the kind of person who would say that "you get what you pay for", but this is at least relatively true in this case.
The fact that it's automated means that it's prone to machine error. It does, however, consider many variables, such as popularity.
What does it not consider? typos... catchy phrases... intelligent plays on words.
I personally find that it has a weird way of evaluating cctlds.
To sum it up, if your domain is a .com, .net, .org, and is really objective (dosent play on words) then leapfish is pretty accurate. If you are working on a brandable domain or a catchy name, then it will most probably under-estimate the domain value.
