Pricing questions

Why is the subscription priced per entity?
Each entity has its own deadlines, vault, score, and compliance state. Pricing per entity keeps single-entity founders at a fair $29/mo while giving portfolios one flat Enterprise rate of $10.75/mo per entity ($129/yr) from 5 entities upward, with a bulk-filing discount that rises from 10% to 40% as the portfolio grows.
Do you mark up state fees?
Never. State fees are passed through at exactly what the state charges. The receipt attached to every filing shows the state's direct charge.
Why no bundles or discount packages?
Bundles drive bad behavior. Customers buy filings they don't need to hit a discount tier, and they hide the true unit price. Each filing stands on its own. Subscriptions cover the workspace. That's the whole pricing model.
Is formation really $0?
For LLCs, yes: the service fee is $0 and you pay only the state filing fee, passed through at cost. Other entity types carry one flat fee: corporation or nonprofit formation is $199 (S-Corp includes the Form 2553 election), specialty structures like PC, PLLC, LP, and Series LLC are $149, and GP or sole-proprietor DBA registration is $49. The optional 501(c)(3) application package (Form 1023 preparation) is $599. State fees are never marked up.
What is the difference between Compliance Suite and the Business OS?
Suite ($129/yr per entity) is the compliance-only subset: score, calendar, alerts, RA year 1, vault. Business OS ($249/yr per entity, $29/mo) adds BosAI, forms library, bulk filing engine, team workspace, audit logs, custom domain, unified inbox, CRM integrations, and the API. Suite is for solo founders. Business OS is for teams and portfolios.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. Your filing history and Vault stay accessible read-only. 14-day money-back guarantee on new Business OS and Enterprise subscriptions.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major US credit cards, ACH (US bank), and wire (Enterprise). International cards accepted for non-US founders. Stripe-processed. We never store card numbers.
FAQ

Pricing - common questions.

What is included in the service fee?
Document preparation, IRS / state submission, status tracking, vault storage of confirmation documents, and customer support. Specialty add-ons (rush filing, partner counsel review, attorney supervision) are line-itemed separately when applicable.
Why do state filing fees vary so much by state?
States set their own fees independently. Some states (DE, NV, WY) charge $50-100; others (MA, CA) charge $300-800; some (CO, MS) charge nothing for certain filings. We pass them through at cost and surface the state fee transparently in your quote so you see the all-in number before paying.
