1. Alaska Registered Agent.co: best for an Alaska LLC with no plans to expand

Form for $199; the agent is $99 a year after that, plus the state fee

Editorial score 9.5 out of 10

The desk picks Alaska Registered Agent.co: Alaska formation for $199 on top of the state's fee, year-one agent included, then $99 a year to keep the agent.

You get an in-state street address as the registered office, and papers served there are scanned into your account.

It leaves the biennial report out of its prices, so you send that filing to Alaska yourself every two years.

Three years of service run cheaper here than at Mainstay Filing, and cost carries big weight.

2. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and biennial report in a single price

$199 a year plus the state fee, $449 due at checkout

Editorial score 9.3 out of 10

Runner-up, Mainstay Filing: the formation, the registered agent and the biennial report all ride on one $199 yearly price, renewing at $199.

Mainstay files the biennial report for you when you renew. Alaska wants $100 every two years, by January 2 of the filing year, and a late filing tacks on $37.50; Mainstay hands the state's fee through at cost.

Alaska Registered Agent.co undercuts Mainstay Filing by $200 over three years, and that is why Mainstay sits lower on cost.

In the price

  • The formation document, filed on your behalf
  • Your registered agent, all year long
  • Biennial report, filed by Mainstay
  • EIN application handled

Strengths

  • $199 on renewal, nothing extra
  • One $199 yearly price that takes in the biennial report
  • Alaska's fee passes through at cost

Behind the order

The Formation Desk counts spend over three years and work the price removes for 33% each; what renewal looks like, fit with the state and plain price display make up the other 34%. What tipped Alaska: spend over three years.

Alaska Registered Agent.co comes to $397 over three years, $200 less than Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would file the biennial report too, but an owner can do that alone for just the state fee, so the lower price won.

The full criteria and weights are on How we rank.
