RI Registered Agent.org files the formation document for $199; the state's filing fee is billed separately. Year one as your resident agent is included, and the agent is $99 a year after that. The EIN application is $99 extra, though the IRS issues the number at no cost.
Rhode Island requires the Annual Report for a Limited Liability Company every year, due May 1 with a $50 state fee. RI Registered Agent.org does not prepare it, so the owner must.

RI Registered Agent.org against Mainstay Filing and the other providers
On the agent service alone, RI Registered Agent.org totals $297 across three years against $447 for Mainstay Filing, a margin of $150. Mainstay Filing offers one agent plan that applies in every state and scans the first three government mailings a year free. Mainstay Filing's package is $199 a year and includes the annual report; the RI Registered Agent.org route totals $397 over three years with the agent but leaves report filing to you. Rhode Island Registered Agent.co, the other Rhode Island agent heard on this site, charges the same $99 a year, and the two finish near each other.
