Our score

9.5 out of 10
Our favorite is Mainstay Filing, because $199 a year covers the Florida formation, a year as your registered agent and the annual report, and it renews at $199.
When your plan renews, Mainstay files the annual report for you. Florida charges $138.75 every year for it, and the date is May 1, and a late one costs $400 more. Mainstay passes the state's fee along at cost.
Over three years it costs $200 more than Florida Registered Agent.io, and for us the extra things it handles are worth that.

We took each price from the company's own pages on November 12, 2026. On top of every row, Florida charges a $125 filing fee, which isn't in these totals.
Why we put Mainstay Filing first
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 Florida, filings in the price made the difference.
In Florida you'll need a report each year ($138.75 to the state), and sending it late adds $400. Mainstay's price includes that filing and Florida Registered Agent.io's doesn't, which is why coverage beat Florida Registered Agent.io's lower three-year cost.

There's one recurring item: the annual report, every year, by May 1. The state asks for $138.75. A late filing adds $400. Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
