Nope. Renewal is indeed more expensive than the first year and more expensive than Cloudflare overall but they display it quite publicly: https://www.namecheap.com/domains/full-tld-list/

I'll add why Cloudflare is cheaper: it's subsidised. The fee for their own operations is $0.00, they expect you to use their other services though, which is paid.

Agreed. It's a little frustrating to always hunt down a coupon code when renewing all my domains.
