The 3 picks side by side
Each number out of 10 is our own mark, drawn from the weighted criteria on How we rank, and not a customer rating.
Vermont registered agent pricing in 2026: first year, renewals, three-year total
Every price comes from the company's own pages as of November 12, 2026. Vermont's own fees stay the same whichever agent you pick.
Why Mainstay Filing is first
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 Vermont the deciding factor was what the price covers.
Mainstay's plan covers a wider area: it scans papers served on the company the same business day at no charge, the price stays the same in all fifty states, and three government letters a year are scanned free. VT Registered Agent.org is cheaper, and the two end up close.
Every criterion and weight is set out on How we rank.
