LLCPronto vs Firstbase: The Real First-Year Cost

If you are comparing a Firstbase alternative, start with cost. Firstbase advertises a low formation fee, but a registered agent and a US address are required to form the company and are sold separately. LLCPronto includes both, plus the state fee, in one price. Here is the full picture.

Quick answer

Firstbase lists formation at $99 plus the state fee, but its registered agent ($299 a year per state) is required, and a US address may need its Mailroom plan ($315+ a year). LLCPronto includes the state fee, registered agent, EIN and US mailing address for the first year: Wyoming $199, New Mexico $190.

Looking for a Firstbase Alternative?
