The order comes from our five tests: three-year cost first, then what the price covers.
#1Who we'd call first
1. Mainstay Filing: best for handing off the upkeep
$199 a year and $250 to the state
Mainstay Filing wins the top spot: the biennial report gets filed inside the $199 yearly price, along with formation and the registered agent.
Here's the catch: AK Registered Agent.org costs $200 less over three years, and you'd do more of the paperwork yourself.
You won't file the biennial report yourself. Alaska still charges $100, billed at cost.

Formation handled start to finish
Registered agent for twelve straight months
Biennial report done for you

2. AK Registered Agent.org: best for owners who'll stay home
$199 plus the state fee, then $99 a year
It starts at $199 with the first agent year thrown in, and from year two you pay $99. That puts AK Registered Agent.org second.

Still wondering?
Is the EIN application included?
With Mainstay Filing it's free. AK Registered Agent.org charges $99, Alaska Registered Agent.co charges $99.
Is there a late fee?
Expect a $37.50 late fee.
What do the picks cost over three years?
Over three years you're looking at $597 at Mainstay Filing, $397 at AK Registered Agent.org, $397 at Alaska Registered Agent.co, before state fees.
Are the fees official?
State fees come from Alaska's official documents, and service fees come from each company's own price page. Both are dated here.
Do I have to use a service?
No. You can file with the state yourself. A service saves you time and can be your agent, but nothing makes you hire one.
