Prices were read from each company's own pages on November 12, 2026. New Hampshire's $100 filing fee goes on top of every row and is not counted in these totals.

How the order was set

Two criteria lead Filing Verdict's method at 35% apiece: total over three years and paperwork the price handles. Renewal behavior, match to the state and up-front pricing share the other 30%, and New Hampshire came down to total over three years.

New Hampshire Registered Agent.co totals $397 over three years, $200 under Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would also file the annual report, but an owner can file it alone for the state fee, so the lower price carried this page.
