Each price comes from the company's own site, read on November 12, 2026. Add Indiana's $95 filing fee to each row; the tally above leaves it out.

How the card was marked

Points here: 25% for cost across three years, 25% for coverage of the price and 50% across renewal terms, state-by-state fit and pricing clarity. Indiana came down to coverage of the price.

Indiana asks for a report every other year at a $32 fee. The Mainstay price covers that filing, while IN Registered Agent.org's leaves it to you, so the coverage points beat IN Registered Agent.org's cost advantage.

Every criterion and weight appears on How we rank.
