No.1
Our top pick
1. Nebraska Registered Agent.co: best for a Nebraska LLC that intends to stay put
$199 to form, then $99 a year for the agent, with the state fee extra
Score9.4out of 10
First place: Nebraska Registered Agent.co. The formation charge is $199 over the state fee, then $99 annually for the agent.
An in-state street address serves as the registered office, and papers served on the company are scanned into your online account.
The biennial report lies outside its published prices, so you file it with Nebraska every two years.
Three-year cost is where it gains on Mainstay Filing, and that criterion is weighted heavily.
In the price
- Articles prepared and filed
- Your registered agent for the first year
Why pick it
- The agent renews at $99 annually
- Formation at $199, with the filing fee extra
- Covers the first year of registered agent service
Weak spots
- The biennial report is not prepared for you
- The EIN application carries a separate fee ($99)
No.2
All-in price
2. Mainstay Filing: best for the formation, the agent and the biennial report under one charge
$199 a year plus the state fee ($299 due at checkout)
Score9.2out of 10
Second place: Mainstay Filing. The Nebraska formation, the agent for service of process and the biennial report all fall under one $199 charge.
At renewal Mainstay prepares and files the biennial report for you. Nebraska charges $25 every two years for it, due April 1 of each odd-numbered year; Mainstay passes the state fee along at cost.
Nebraska Registered Agent.co costs $200 less over three years, and Mainstay Filing trails it on that criterion.
In the price
- Preparation and filing of the formation document
- Your agent for service of process all year long
- Biennial report prepared and filed on your behalf
- EIN application prepared
Why pick it
- Covers the EIN application
- One yearly charge of $199 that covers the biennial report
- Nebraska's fee is passed along at cost
- Renews at $199 with nothing added
Weak spots
- Its agent charge after year one is $100 a year above Nebraska Registered Agent.co's

3. NE Registered Agent.org: best for a filing made only in Nebraska
$199 to form, then $99 a year for the agent, with the state fee extra
Score9.1out of 10
Third place: NE Registered Agent.org. The formation charge is $199 over the state fee, then $99 annually for the agent.

The biennial report lies outside its published prices, so you file it with Nebraska every two years.
Nebraska Registered Agent.co and NE Registered Agent.org publish the same price and the same features, so either is a defensible choice.
In the price
- Articles prepared and filed
- A first year as your registered agent
Why pick it
- Agent charge of $99 a year after year one
- Forms the LLC for $199 and the state's fee

Over three years Nebraska Registered Agent.co totals $397, $200 less than Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would file the biennial report as well, yet an owner can do it alone for the state fee, so the lower charge carried the ruling.
