Our favorite is IN Registered Agent.org, because $199 for formation on top of the state fee, then $99 a year for the agent.
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 business entity report isn't part of its published price, so you send it to Indiana yourself every two years.
You pay less over three years than with Mainstay Filing.
3. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and business entity report in one simple price
$199 a year, and the state fee goes on top ($294 at checkout)

In third place is Mainstay Filing, because for one yearly price of $199 you get the Indiana filing, registered agent service and the business entity report, then $199 at renewal.
When your plan renews, Mainstay files the business entity report for you. Indiana charges $32 every two years for it, and the date is last day of the entity's anniversary month, every 2 years. Mainstay passes the state's fee along at cost.
IN Registered Agent.org 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, Indiana charges a $95 filing fee, which isn't in these totals.
Why we ordered them this way
In Indiana, three-year cost decided the order. If you're curious about the weights, three-year cost is 29%, filings in the price is 29% and renewal price, state fit and up-front totals share 42%.
IN Registered Agent.org comes to $397 over three years, which is $200 less than Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would file the business entity report too, but you can do it yourself for the state fee, so the lower price won here.
