1. Indiana Registered Agent.co: best for an Indiana LLC that expects to stay put

Score9.3out of 10
$199 for formation, then $99 a year for the agent, plus the state fee

Top grade, Indiana Registered Agent.co: forming in Indiana costs $199 beyond the state's fee, with the first agent year included, and keeping the agent runs $99 a year.

The plan seats the company at an in-state street address and posts scans of papers served there to your online account.

The business entity report is outside its published prices, so you submit it to Indiana yourself every two years.

Over three years it costs less than Mainstay Filing, and cost is one of our two heaviest criteria.

What you get

  • Indiana formation filed for you
  • Year-one registered agent service

Good

  • Agent renewal of $99
  • $199 service fee, state fee added
  • Registered agent service included for year one

$199 for formation, then $99 a year for the agent, plus the state fee

Second grade, IN Registered Agent.org: forming in Indiana costs $199 beyond the state's fee, with the first agent year included, and keeping the agent runs $99 a year.

The plan seats the company at an in-state street address and posts scans of papers served there to your online account.

The business entity report is outside its published prices, so you submit it to Indiana yourself every two years.

3. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and business entity report on one invoice

Score8.9out of 10
$199 a year plus the state fee, $294 due at checkout

Third grade, Mainstay Filing: a flat $199 yearly fee takes in the Indiana formation, your registered agent and the business entity report.

The renewal covers the business entity report, which Mainstay files for you. Indiana collects $32 every two years, with a deadline of last day of the entity's anniversary month, every 2 years; Mainstay passes the state's fee through at cost.

Indiana Registered Agent.co is $200 cheaper across three years, and that difference lowers Mainstay Filing's cost grade.

What you get

  • Formation prepared and filed on your behalf
  • Your registered agent for twelve months
  • The business entity report prepared and filed
  • The EIN application

Good

  • Renewal is $199 with no add-ons
  • Indiana's state fee is passed through at cost
  • Includes the EIN application
  • A single $199 yearly price, including the business entity report

Weak spots

  • Its agent renews at $100 a year more than Indiana Registered Agent.co's

Indiana LLC service prices, 2026: year one, renewal and three-year outlay

Indiana Registered Agent.co$199$99$99$397No

All prices were taken from the companies' own websites on November 12, 2026. Indiana's $95 filing fee is payable on top of each row and is not part of these totals.

Why the order falls this way

Three-year bill was the deciding factor in Indiana. The method gives three-year bill and what the money buys 32% each and splits 36% across renewal handling, local rules match and pricing openness.

Total outlay with Indiana Registered Agent.co over three years: $397, $200 less than Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would add the business entity report filing, but owners can file it alone for the state fee, so the lower price decided the grade.

Every criterion and weight is listed on How we rank.
