1. Mainstay Filing: best for companies working in several states
$199 on top of the state fee ($349 due at checkout); the agent is $149 a year from year two
out of 10
Mainstay Filing wins here: $199 plus the state's own fee, with the registered agent free for the first year and one price in every state.
The agent renews at $149 a year after the free first year, in this state or any other.
The three-year bill is $100 higher than Wyoming Registered Agent.ai's, and the wider coverage is worth that to us.
