Mainstay Filing takes the top spot because the Alaska formation, a registered agent and the biennial report share a single $199 price.
Renewal includes Mainstay filing the biennial report on your behalf. The state fee in Alaska is $100 every two years, due January 2 of the filing year, with $37.50 added if it is late, and Mainstay passes that fee through at cost.
Its three-year total is $200 above AK Registered Agent.org's, and what the price covers justifies that gap for us.

Alaska LLC service pricing in 2026: first year, renewals, three-year total
Every price comes from the company's own pages as of November 12, 2026. The $250 Alaska filing fee comes on top of each row and is left out of the totals.
What decided the order
Two criteria count most here, three-year price and what the price covers, at 28% each, while renewal terms, fit for the state and price clarity divide 44%. What tipped Alaska was what the price covers.
Alaska asks for a report every other year and charges $100, plus $37.50 when it is late. Mainstay's price covers that filing and AK Registered Agent.org's does not, so coverage beat AK Registered Agent.org's lower three-year bill.
Every criterion and weight is set out on How we rank.
