Why this order? How we decide explains.

#1 First choice

1. Mainstay Filing: best for companies that keep growing

Service $199 plus $275 to the state; agent renewal $149

Why Mainstay Filing? Simply put, the $199 fee is identical everywhere, and the first year of registered agent service comes with it.

Is it the smaller bill? No. OR Registered Agent.org costs $100 less over three years, but it works in Oregon only.

The registered agent renews at $149 a year in every state.
