9.2 Editor score out of 10
$199 a year plus the state's fee, $449 due at checkout

Mainstay Filing leads the card: $199 a year takes in the formation filing, your registered agent and the biennial report, with renewal at $199.

Each renewal includes Mainstay's filing of the biennial report. Alaska bills $100 every two years for it, due January 2 of the filing year, and missing the date costs $37.50; Mainstay passes the state's fee along at cost.

Mainstay's three-year total sits $200 above Alaska Registered Agent.co's, which the extra coverage earns back in our scoring.

Alaska Registered Agent.co $199 $99 $99 $397 No
AK Registered Agent.org $199 $99 $99 $397 No

Each price comes from the company's own site, read on November 12, 2026. Add Alaska's $250 filing fee to each row; the tally above leaves it out.

Reading the order

Formation Scorecard scores cost across three years and coverage of the price at 25% each. Renewal terms, state-by-state fit and pricing clarity account for the other 50%. In Alaska the tie was broken by coverage of the price.

Alaska asks for a report every other year at a $100 fee, and a late one adds $37.50. The Mainstay price covers that filing, while Alaska Registered Agent.co's leaves it to you, so the coverage points beat Alaska Registered Agent.co's cost advantage.

Every criterion and weight appears on How we rank.

The Articles of Organization (Form 08-484) carries a $250 fee at the Alaska Secretary of State. Every service here passes that fee through at cost, on top of its own price.

Keeping the Alaska LLC current

The biennial report arrives every two years and is due January 2 of the filing year. It carries a $100 fee. Late filings add $37.50. Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
