ZenBusiness vs. Bizee: LLC Formation Service Comparison

What ZenBusiness Charges for LLC Formation

As published on its own site in October 2026, ZenBusiness's Starter LLC plan is $0 plus the state's own filing fee, a one-time formation charge. Its Pro plan is $199 a year and Premium is $299 a year, both renewing annually rather than as one-time fees. ZenBusiness's Starter plan includes the first year of its Worry-Free Compliance service free, renewing at $199 a year afterward, a separate line item from registered agent service.

What Bizee Charges for LLC Formation

Bizee's Basic LLC package is $0 plus the state's own filing fee, also a one-time charge. Its Standard package is $199 and Premium is $299, both one-time formation fees rather than annual subscriptions. Bizee includes registered agent service free for the first year with any package, renewing afterward at $149 a year; Bizee has also tested offering a free period shorter than a full year, from three to twelve months depending on package, according to its own published notes.

The Key Structural Difference: One-Time vs. Annual Paid Tiers

ZenBusiness's Pro and Premium plans renew every year at their listed price, while Bizee's Standard and Premium packages are one-time formation fees that do not recur. This means choosing ZenBusiness's higher tiers carries an ongoing annual cost beyond formation that Bizee's equivalent tiers do not.

Registered Agent Service at Each Company

Bizee includes registered agent service free for the first year with any package, renewing at $149 a year. ZenBusiness's registered agent page advertises $99 for the first year, renewing at $199 a year, though a separate ZenBusiness products page lists $199 a year as the standard rate without mentioning a first-year discount, so confirm which applies at checkout.

Operating Agreement and EIN Pricing

ZenBusiness's Starter plan prices an operating agreement and EIN filing assistance at $99 each as add-ons; both are included in its Pro plan. Bizee's Basic package prices an operating agreement at $99 (an older Bizee comparison page lists it at $40, so confirm at checkout) and EIN filing at $70, both included in Standard and Premium.

How LLC Register compares

LLC Register's registered agent service is $99 a year, the same price at renewal. LLC formation is included in year one and annual report filing is included every year, while most providers charge $99 to $199 a year extra for annual report filing. State fees are passed through at cost and shown before checkout.

What to Confirm Before You Choose

Because ZenBusiness's Pro and Premium tiers renew annually while Bizee's equivalent tiers are one-time fees, confirm whether a given package's price recurs before comparing the two headline numbers directly. Also confirm Bizee's current free registered agent period and Bizee's current operating agreement price, since both have shown more than one figure across the company's own pages.

One-Time Fee vs. Annual Subscription Changes the Real Cost

A ZenBusiness Pro or Premium plan costs its listed price every year, while a Bizee Standard or Premium package is paid once. Multiply ZenBusiness's annual tier price by the number of years you plan to keep that tier active before comparing it with Bizee's one-time equivalent.

Two Different ZenBusiness Prices Appear on Two Pages

ZenBusiness's registered agent page and its products page show different figures for the standard rate, one a $99 first-year discount before $199, the other a flat $199. Check the specific order summary at checkout rather than either marketing page alone.

Confirm Bizee's Free Period and Operating Agreement Price

Bizee has tested a free registered agent period shorter than a full year for some packages, and an older Bizee comparison page lists a different operating agreement price than its current order form. Confirm both at checkout.

An EIN Should Never Cost Money on Its Own

Both companies' EIN add-on prices pay for help completing a form; an EIN itself is always free directly from the IRS, regardless of which company's add-on price you compare.

This Is Not Legal or Tax Advice

Which package, add-ons, and compliance subscriptions make sense depends on your specific business. Talk to a tax professional, and verify all current prices directly on each company's site before ordering.
