Mainstay Filing takes the top spot because $199 a year pays for the New Hampshire filing, a year as your registered agent and the annual report, and the renewal is $199.
Renewal includes Mainstay filing the annual report on your behalf. The state fee in New Hampshire is $100 every year, due April 1, with $50 added if it is late, and Mainstay passes that fee through at cost.
Its three-year total is $200 above NH Registered Agent.org's, and what the price covers justifies that gap for us.

New Hampshire 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 $100 New Hampshire filing fee comes on top of each row and is left out of the totals.
How the cut was made
Filing Shortlist puts 28% of the weight on three-year price and 28% on what the price covers. The remaining 44% goes to renewal terms, fit for the state and price clarity, and for New Hampshire the deciding factor was what the price covers.
New Hampshire asks for a report each year and charges $100, plus $50 when it is late. Mainstay's price covers that filing and NH Registered Agent.org's does not, so coverage beat NH Registered Agent.org's lower three-year bill.
Every criterion and weight is set out on How we rank.
