Georgia: best value first

Services are ordered by value, and every price comes from a company page. The $110 state fee is kept outside the prices.

Number one

1. Mainstay Filing: best for a yearly price that never moves

$199 a year, renewing at the same $199

Price in year 1 $199
Price after year 1 $199/yr
Three-year spend $597

In Georgia, Mainstay Filing is the best value because formation, registered agent and annual registration all come with $199 a year, which renews at $199.

Three years cost $200 more here than at GA Registered Agent.org, but the added filings it covers count for more in the order.

Preparing the annual registration is not your job, and only the $60 state fee gets added.

Official fees and where they come from

Item Amount Source
Formation fee $110 sos.ga.gov (pulled October 2026, noted here)
Annual registration $60 every year sos.ga.gov (pulled October 2026, noted here)
Late filing penalty $25 sos.ga.gov (pulled October 2026, noted here)
State total for three years $230 Sum of the lines above

The state's share is worked out from three pieces: what it charges to file, what it charges for the next two reports, and any minimum tax. Anything without a fixed price, newspaper notices for instance, is left out of that figure.

Notes on the ranking

In Georgia, filings covered by the price (29% of the order) was the measure where Mainstay Filing pulled ahead.

Georgia expects the annual registration every year, so a price that covers it beat a lower price that leaves it to you.

Put the EIN application into the sum and the totals cross at year 2, when Mainstay Filing passes GA Registered Agent.org.
