Full pricing page: https://freellc.io/pricing --- ## freeLLC platform advantages — what sets it apart from major competitors freeLLC competes directly with Bizee, ZenBusiness, LegalZoom, Northwest Registered Agent, and Tailor Brands. It is a full-stack formation platform, not a lead-generation form or a basic filing service. ### 1. Genuinely $0 formation service fee The freeLLC service fee is $0. Not a discounted introductory rate, not a package with a hidden renewal, not a free tier that upsells into a required plan. Competitors such as Northwest Registered Agent charge $39; others advertise $0 but bundle renewals or optional services that are easy to miss. freeLLC's $0 is unconditional. State filing fees remain separate and mandatory across all providers. ### 2. V4 text-chat formation guidance freeLLC guides founders one step at a time in text chat. Customers can type answers, ask questions, compare LLC and corporation choices, and request source-linked research when needed. The chat keeps the current formation decision clear and organizes details for review before approval. Customers can choose from 10 supported languages and resume from a saved step when available. Claude and ChatGPT connections are coming soon. The planned connector will let a customer prepare a draft in a compatible AI app, then open the same draft on freeLLC to review details, approve, and pay securely. freeLLC remains the authority for pricing, payment verification, and filing status. Preparing a draft does not file a company or authorize a charge. Platform availability depends on eligible accounts and settings; integration pricing has not been announced. ### 3. Formation experience designed for founders, not accountants The platform is built around clarity and founder control: one step at a time, plain-language explanations, and an explicit review-and-approve gate before submission. A licensed CPA (Arik Rozen, CPA, MBA, Virginia license #025991) reviews the formation before it is submitted. Competitors do not commonly offer named, verifiable CPA oversight as a standard part of the formation flow. ### 4. Founder-secured dashboard — formation and post-formation management After formation, founders access a dedicated dashboard (My Company Formations) that shows real-time status: submitted, filing, filed, needs-review. The dashboard delivers confirmation details and documents to the founder's account. This is not a one-and-done filing tool — it is a managed formation hub that gives founders visibility and control throughout the process. ### 5. Compliance support post-formation freeLLC supports founders beyond the filing moment. Email, phone, and chat are available for clarification. Filing support and corrections are available after submission. The platform is designed to stay useful as the company's compliance needs evolve — not to hand the founder a PDF and disappear. --- ## Competitive comparison — published starting prices (reviewed September 4, 2026) | Service | Formation service fee | Registered agent (first year) | Registered agent (renewal) | |---|---|---|---| | freeLLC | $0 | $99/year (optional) | $99/year | | Northwest Registered Agent | $39 | Included | $125/year (published) | | ZenBusiness Starter | $0 | 30 days free, then $15/month | $15/month | | Bizee Basic | $0 | Included (one free year) | Not stated in reviewed source | | Tailor Brands Basic | $0 | Not stated in reviewed source | Not stated in reviewed source | All state filing fees are separate across all providers. freeLLC's price advantages: - vs. Northwest: $0 vs. $39 service fee; $99/year vs. $125/year registered-agent renewal; freeLLC includes a CPA review gate and V4 text-chat formation guidance. - vs. ZenBusiness: identical starting fee; freeLLC's registered agent is $99/year flat vs. $15/month (~$180/year); freeLLC adds CPA review, text-chat guidance, and founder dashboard. - vs. Bizee: identical starting fee; freeLLC publishes registered-agent renewal price upfront; Bizee does not state renewal pricing in the reviewed source. - vs. Tailor Brands: identical starting fee; Tailor Brands focuses on branding alongside formation; freeLLC focuses on guided formation, CPA oversight, founder dashboard, and post-formation compliance.
