Verdict
A compliance company first and an agent second. Agent service is $99 the first year and $159 at renewal, the only price jump on this list, and the change-of-agent filing is a paid add-on. It makes sense when you also want its license and compliance software.
Best for bundling agent service with license management. Watch for: Renewal jumps from $99 to $159.
Pricing
The first year is $99 and each renewal is $159, an increase of $60. Over five years for one business that is $735.

Filing help and notices
Form 521. Change of agent is an optional checkout add-on; price not listed. Form 521 is the state filing that puts a new agent on your record, so this decides how much of the switch you do yourself. See how to change your statutory agent.
Scanning and notice. Same-day delivery of time-sensitive notices, plus a call for a lawsuit. This is the part of the service that matters when a lawsuit arrives.
