Schedules ordered by: Three-year charges and duties (full formula)
Charges retrieved November 13, 2026; each service adds the state fee at cost. No schedule passes another within ten years.
What the columns mean
Year 1 is the opening charge, the next figure is the yearly charge after that, and the three-year total is year one plus two renewals. When a second state is likely, a single provider for all states spares you a switch.
Reading the order
Three-year charges and what a charge covers carry the most weight; renewal, equal cost and disclosure follow. A national list tests reach, and only one schedule passes. Schedules two and three, Indiana Registered Agent.co and AR Registered Agent.org, bill less when the company is based in Indiana or Arkansas.
