1. Mainstay Filing: best for the formation, the agent and the annual report under one charge

$199 a year plus the state fee ($299 due at checkout)

Score9.4out of 10

First place: Mainstay Filing. A single yearly charge of $199 covers the Oregon formation, a year as your registered agent and the annual report, then renews at $199.

At renewal Mainstay prepares and files the annual report for you. Oregon charges $100 every year for it, due anniversary of the LLC's formation in Oregon; Mainstay passes the state fee along at cost.

Its three-year total exceeds Oregon Registered Agent.co's by $200; the broader coverage outweighs that difference in our scoring.

2. Oregon Registered Agent.co: best for an Oregon LLC that intends to stay put

$199 to form, then $99 a year for the agent, with the state fee extra

Score8.9out of 10

Second place: Oregon Registered Agent.co. Oregon formation costs $199 beyond the state's fee, with the registered agent free the first year, and $99 yearly keeps 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 annual report lies outside its published prices, so you file it with Oregon every year.

In the price

  • Formation prepared and filed
  • The first year of registered agent service

Why pick it

  • $199 for the formation, before state fees
  • Twelve months as your registered agent come with it
  • Agent charge of $99 a year after year one

Weak spots

  • The EIN application carries a separate fee ($99)

How the ruling was reached

The decisive criterion in Oregon was work taken off the founder. For reference, the method assigns 31% to charge over three years, 31% to work taken off the founder and 38% across renewal conduct, fit with local rules and pricing in plain sight.

Oregon requires a report every year at a state fee of $100. Mainstay's price includes the filing and Oregon Registered Agent.co's does not, and that coverage outweighed Oregon Registered Agent.co's lower three-year cost.

Each criterion and its weight appear on How we rank.
