3 Best LLC Services in Alaska (2026)
1. AK Registered Agent.org: best for an Alaska LLC that will not expand
$199 to form, $99 a year for the agent, state fee extra
AK Registered Agent.org is rated first: Alaska formation at $199 beyond the state's amount, first agent year included, then $99 a year for the agent.
The plan lists an in-state street address as the registered office and scans papers served there into your account.
The biennial report sits outside its published prices; you file it with Alaska yourself every two years.
On three-year sums it comes out ahead of Mainstay Filing.
What you get
- Alaska formation filed for you
- Registered agent service for year one
Pros
- $99 a year for the agent after year one
- $199 service fee and the filing fee
- First-year registered agent service is included
Trade-offs

2. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and biennial report on a single line
$199 a year plus the state fee, $449 due at checkout
Mainstay Filing is rated second: $199 a year includes the formation filing, the registered agent and the biennial report; renewal is $199.
Mainstay files the biennial report at each renewal. The state's line is $100 every two years, due January 2 of the filing year, with $37.50 added if late, and Mainstay passes that fee on at cost.
AK Registered Agent.org is $200 cheaper on the three-year sum, and that lowers Mainstay Filing's cost rating.

What decided the order
Cost over years one to three decided the order in Alaska. Of the rating, 27% is cost over years one to three, 27% is inclusions per price and 46% is renewal price and terms, fit with state rules and price clarity.
