Where another provider is the better buy.
We only publish a comparison where we cost a founder abroad less, every year. These providers win on something that founder would weigh. Here is what.
Stripe Atlas
A Delaware company for $500, and the $500 comes back if you put $5,000 in a Stripe Treasury account within 90 days. You also get $2,500 in Stripe credits. For a business built on Stripe, its first year is the better buy.

Firstbase
Formation is on offer at $99 instead of $399, plus the state fee, with an expedited EIN. While the offer runs, its first year costs less than Launch.

Of the services compared here, BaseAcross and LegalZoom, at $969.40 over three years for a Wyoming LLC with a registered agent, an EIN and an operating agreement. Only BaseAcross is built for founders abroad. The next lowest is doola, at $1,113.40. Every figure includes Wyoming's own fees.
The same four things on every side: the Wyoming filing, a registered agent, an EIN obtained without a Social Security Number, and an operating agreement. Wyoming's $102.40 filing fee and its $60 yearly report fee are added to every provider, because every provider passes them on.
Because most of the cost is in the renewals. Over three years, the two renewals are more than the first year on every side. Some providers also include the registered agent only in year one, so the price changes after it.
We only publish a comparison where a founder abroad pays us no more, in the first year or any year after. Stripe Atlas is the better first year for a business built on Stripe, so we say that instead. The same goes for Firstbase, StartGlobal, Bizee, Northwest Registered Agent, Clerky and BizStartz. This page says what each one does better, from its own pricing page.
From their own pricing pages, read on the date each comparison shows, with links to every page we read. Ours are the prices our checkout charges. If a figure has changed, email us and we will correct it the same day.
