02In fairness

Where doola is stronger, and where it costs you.

Stronger

Formation, bookkeeping, the state annual report and IRS filings are all available from one company, with a dedicated bookkeeper on the top plan.
E-commerce analytics are part of the $1,999 plan, which helps founders selling on Shopify or Amazon.
The top plan adds monthly or quarterly book closings and sales tax registration through a partner.

Where it costs you

Formation is sold as a yearly subscription, and the registered agent and mailing address are part of it, so they end if you stop paying.
doola lists business IRS tax filings on the $1,999 plan, not on Starter, so a company that has to file Form 5472 is looking at that plan or a separate preparer.
Starter renews at the full $297 every year, where a one-off formation renews at the agent's price.

03The decision

05Questions

Questions about doola and us.

If yours is not here, email us at [email protected] before you order.

Not over time. doola's Starter is $297 a year plus state fees, and our Starter is $289 once plus the state fee, then $119 a year. Over three years in Wyoming, with the state's fees, doola's Starter comes to about $1,113 and ours to about $749. With the IRS filing included, doola's $1,999 plan comes to about $6,219 over three years, and our Premium to about $3,417.

Yes. A transfer keeps the company, its name, its file number and its formation date, and changes the registered agent to us. Ordering takes a few minutes, and the state takes a few days to record it.

Yes, in all fifty. We file in Wyoming and Delaware only, because for a founder abroad they're the two states worth being in, and we'd rather know two states well. If your business needs another state, doola or Northwest will serve you better.
