How we rank

How the order is set

  1. Three-year cost (38%): One year plus two renewals, taken from each company's own published price.
  2. Work included (27%): The agent, the state report, the EIN application and out-of-state use: each one inside the price counts.
  3. Readable pricing (13%): Is the price posted in full before checkout, with the renewal and the state fee spelled out?.
  4. Renewal steadiness (11%): Prices that stay level from year to year score above prices that rise.
  5. State coverage (11%): One state or every state.
