New Mexico Registered Agent.co takes the top spot because a $199 formation price over the state fee, 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.
The three-year bill is where it beats Mainstay Filing, and that criterion has the most weight along with coverage.

Good

Mainstay Filing makes the list at number two because for $199 it files the New Mexico paperwork and acts as registered agent for a year, and the EIN application is thrown in.
