1. Mainstay Filing: best for all fifty states

$149 yearly, no change

Score9.6out of 10

First place: Mainstay Filing. Its agent plan is $149 a year and does not rise at renewal, and legal papers served on the company are scanned within the same business day free of charge.

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

Why Mainstay Filing is placed first

Two criteria carry 31% each in this ranking, charge over three years and work taken off the founder. Renewal conduct, fit with local rules and pricing in plain sight share 38%, and in Oregon the decisive one was work taken off the founder.

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. OR Registered Agent.org charges less, so the margin is narrow.

Each criterion and its weight appear on How we rank.
