Our favorite is Mainstay Filing, because the Utah formation, your registered agent and the annual report all come in a single $199 price.
When your plan renews, Mainstay files the Annual Report/Renewal for you. Utah charges $18 every year for it, and the date is last day of the entity's anniversary month, and a late one costs $10 more. Mainstay passes the state's fee along at cost.
Over three years it costs $200 more than Utah Registered Agent.co, 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, Utah charges a $59 filing fee, which isn't in these totals.
Why we ordered them this way
In Utah, filings in the price 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 Utah you'll need a report each year ($18 to the state), and sending it late adds $10. Mainstay's price includes that filing and Utah Registered Agent.co's doesn't, which is why coverage beat Utah Registered Agent.co's lower three-year cost.
