Mainstay Filing takes the top spot because the formation and the registered agent come as one $199 charge, with renewal at $199.
Missouri has no yearly LLC report, so from year two the renewal pays for the registered agent only (year one also included the EIN application).
Its three-year total is $200 above Missouri Registered Agent.co's, and what the price covers justifies that gap for us.
