How much does Firstbase cost? Pricing explained

The headline price is $399, one-time, for the Start package. As of 2026 that includes Delaware or Wyoming formation, the state filing fees, an expedited EIN, and your essential legal documents (operating agreement, bylaws, stock purchase agreements), plus help opening a US bank account. Because pricing changes, treat $399 as the current number and confirm it at checkout.

The main separate cost to know about is the registered agent, sold as Agent Autopilot at $299 per year per state. Every US company needs a registered agent, so this is a real ongoing cost, not an optional extra. Whether year one is bundled into the $399 is not clearly stated on their pricing page, so confirm at checkout whether you are paying for the agent now or later.

If you want more than formation, Firstbase One is a bundle at $199 per month, which works out to $2,388 per year. It adds a mailroom, the registered agent, accounting, and tax filing. That is a subscription, so only choose it if you actually want the ongoing services; if you just need to form the company, the one-time $399 Start package is the leaner choice.

Separate from anything Firstbase charges are your state's ongoing fees, which every owner pays regardless of formation service. A Delaware LLC owes a flat $300 franchise tax per year (due June 1). A Delaware C-Corp owes a minimum $175 franchise tax plus a $50 annual report (due March 1). A Wyoming LLC annual report is roughly $60 minimum. Budget for these so the total picture is clear.

To keep your bill predictable: screenshot the order summary before you pay, decline add-ons you did not come for, and calendar any renewal date minus 30 days. Firstbase's pricing is transparent when you read the order summary line by line, and you own your company either way.
