AK Registered Agent.org takes the top spot because registering costs $199 plus the state fee, with the first registered agent year covered, then $99 a year for the agent.
The registered office is an in-state street address supplied by the plan, and any papers served on the company show up as scans in your online account.
It costs less than Mainstay Filing over three years, and cost is one of our two heaviest criteria.
In the price

Mainstay Filing makes the list at number two because $199 prepares the Alaska registration and the registered agent role costs nothing in year one, then $149 a year.
