What's included in each plan
The Best Value in the Industry
Real headline prices from real competitors — see how FastLLC stacks up.
FastLLC's $199 + state fees is the second-lowest headline price on the market — behind only LegalZoom ($0) and Bizee ($0), both formation-only plans with heavy upsells.
The Essential package ($399 total Year 1): cheaper than Firstbase ($1,218–1,398), roughly on par with Stripe Atlas ($599–799), and cheaper than LegalZoom Basic once you add the same real add-ons ($558) — while already including registered agent.
The Basic package ($498 total Year 1): cheaper than Stripe Atlas, far cheaper than Firstbase, cheaper than LegalZoom Pro ($807) — doola is nominally cheaper ($397) but that's a recurring annual fee, while FastLLC's formation fee is one-time.
