1. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and annual registration in a single price

$199 a year plus the state fee, $309 due at checkout

Editorial score 9.6 out of 10

The desk picks Mainstay Filing: one $199 yearly bill covers the Georgia formation filing, the registered agent and the annual registration.

Every price here was read off the company's own pages on November 12, 2026. Georgia's $110 filing fee comes on top of every row and is left out of these totals.

How the desk made the call

The desk's method puts 33% on spend over three years and 33% on work the price removes, and 34% across what renewal looks like, fit with the state and plain price display. For Georgia, work the price removes did the deciding.

Georgia wants a report each year and charges $60, plus $25 if you are late. Mainstay's price covers that filing and Georgia Registered Agent.co's does not, and that outweighed Georgia Registered Agent.co's lower three-year cost.

The full criteria and weights are on How we rank.
