Prices are from each company's own pricing. See how we decide.

#1 Number 1

1. Alaska Registered Agent.co: best for a small first-year bill

Year one $199, later years $99

Hire Alaska Registered Agent.co in Alaska: $199 gets the LLC formed, and the agent renews yearly at $99.

Three years cost less here than at Mainstay Filing, and cost counts most.

The biennial report is not in the price, so you file it.

What is bundled

  • LLC filed for you
  • First-year agent

Pluses

  • First-year agent comes with it
  • $99 a year from year two
  • Forms the LLC for $199

Downsides

  • The biennial report is outside the service
  • $99 add-on for the EIN
#2 For Alaska

2. AK Registered Agent.org: best for single-state companies

Year one $199, later years $99

Why AK Registered Agent.org second? Simply put, $199 gets the LLC formed, and the agent renews yearly at $99.

The biennial report is not in the price, so you file it.

It charges what Alaska Registered Agent.co charges; the order between them is close.

3. Mainstay Filing: best for staying away from paperwork

Alaska Registered Agent.co is $200 less across three years, enough to rank higher.
