Schedule one belongs to Mainstay Filing. A $199 fee beyond the state's, no registered agent charge in year one, then $149 a year.
Paying $100 above Missouri Registered Agent.co across three years takes the repeating filings off your plate.
Agent charge from year two: $149 a year, in any state.
Three years of state charges come to the filing fee, the reports owed in years two and three, and a yearly minimum tax where the state levies one. Costs without a fixed amount, newspaper publication for example, are mentioned in the text and excluded from the sum.
What settled it
Mainstay Filing did better than Missouri Registered Agent.co on duties inside the charge, a 31% measure.
Several states at one charge beat Missouri Registered Agent.co's lower renewal.
The Missouri foreign LLC registration fee and rules, in the state's own words
Doing business in Missouri through an LLC from elsewhere means filing the Application for Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company (Form LLC 4) with the Missouri Secretary of State, Corporations Division, at $105. It also needs certificate of good standing/existence from the home state at most 60 days.
An LLC that never registers can face no standing to bring claims in Missouri courts (RSMo 347.163.1).

Do it alone and Missouri still collects $105 over three years, plus you complete every form. A service charges $397 to $497 to take that off you.
