The 3 picks side by side

Indiana 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 $95 Indiana filing fee comes on top of each row and is left out of the totals.
Why these made the shortlist
Three-year price separated the picks in Indiana. The method gives three-year price 28%, gives what the price covers 28% and splits 44% over renewal terms, fit for the state and price clarity.
Indiana Registered Agent.co adds up to $397 over three years, which is $200 below Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would file the business entity report too, but an owner can do that alone for the state fee, so the smaller price won this page.
