1. Mainstay Filing: best for all fifty states
$149 yearly, no change
Score9.4out of 10
First place: Mainstay Filing. The charge is $149 a year whether the company stays in one state or spreads out, and three government letters a year are scanned at no cost.

Its three-year total exceeds Alaska Registered Agent.co's by $150; the broader coverage outweighs that difference in our scoring.

How the ruling was reached
The decisive criterion in Alaska 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.
Mainstay's plan reaches further: papers served on the company are scanned within the same business day at no cost, the price is identical across all fifty states, and three government letters a year are scanned free. Alaska Registered Agent.co charges less, so the margin is narrow.
Each criterion and its weight appear on How we rank.

In Alaska, the biennial report comes due every two years. $100 is payable to the state, and the deadline is January 2 of the filing year. Filing late adds $37.50. Notices about it are sent to your registered agent.
