1. Mainstay Filing: best for all fifty states
$149 per year, flat
out of 10
Mainstay Filing wins here: one $149 agent plan that follows the company into every state, renewing at $149.
New company? Mainstay's formation package at $199 a year adds the Alaska filing and the biennial report.
The three-year bill is $150 higher than Alaska Registered Agent.co's, and the wider coverage is worth that to us.
