Mainstay Filing ($199), Utah Registered Agent.co ($199) and DE Registered Agent.org ($199) are our top-ranked LLC services for 2026. Mainstay Filing takes first place, since it condenses three procedures (filing, agent, yearly report) into a single $199 bill in all fifty states.
Prices are recorded from each company's own site on November 13, 2026. State fees are extra and depend on the state.
What matters most
Compare the price for years two and three, not only year one, and note which state procedures the price takes off your list. If growth beyond one state is likely, coverage deserves substantial weight.
How the order is set
The readings rest on three-year cost, procedures performed, renewal, state fit and price legibility. When the reader could be in any state, one price everywhere is worth more than a lower price in only one. Prices run lower in Utah and Delaware, so Utah Registered Agent.co and DE Registered Agent.org take the next two places.
