How first place was won
In Alaska, filings covered by the price (29% of the order) was the measure where Mainstay Filing pulled ahead.
Having the biennial report filed for you counted for more than AK Registered Agent.org's smaller three-year total.
If you count the EIN application, AK Registered Agent.org costs less from year 2.

You send the Articles of Organization (Form 08-484) and $250 to the Alaska Secretary of State (Alaska Stat. §§ 10.50.070). Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
