Our top pick

$199 to form, then $99 a year for the agent, with the state fee on top
Our score

Our favorite is Alaska Registered Agent.co, because forming in Alaska is $199 plus the state fee, and your first year as registered agent is included, then $99 a year.
You get a street address in the state for your registered office, and any papers served on the company are scanned into your online account.
The biennial report isn't part of its published price, so you send it to Alaska yourself every two years.
This is where it beats Mainstay Filing: what you pay over three years.
2. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and biennial report in one simple price
$199 a year, and the state fee goes on top ($449 at checkout)
Our score
9.1out of 10
9.1 out of 10
Coming in second is Mainstay Filing, because $199 a year covers the Alaska formation, a year as your registered agent and the biennial report, and it renews at $199.
When your plan renews, Mainstay files the biennial report for you. Alaska charges $100 every two years for it, and the date is January 2 of the filing year, and a late one costs $37.50 more. Mainstay passes the state's fee along at cost.
Alaska Registered Agent.co is $200 cheaper over three years, so Mainstay Filing comes second on cost.

We took each price from the company's own pages on November 12, 2026. On top of every row, Alaska charges a $250 filing fee, which isn't in these totals.
How the order came together
Here's how we scored it: three-year cost and filings in the price are worth 29% each, and renewal price, state fit and up-front totals split the other 42%. In Alaska, three-year cost made the difference.
Alaska Registered Agent.co comes to $397 over three years, which is $200 less than Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would file the biennial report too, but you can do it yourself for the state fee, so the lower price won here.
