Pricing

The price, and the part everyone else hides.

One price per plan, published here, covering your first year. State filing fees are set by the state, are not ours, and are quoted in full before you pay. There is no number you find out later.

What it costs to form and run a US company with Prolify.

Prolify's formation plans are $397, $1,497 and $2,997 for the first year, each plus the filing fee charged by the state you form in. If you already have a US entity, Existing LLC Compliance is $250 a year. State fees vary by state, go to the state rather than to Prolify, and are quoted before checkout.

Before the plans

Why every price here ends in “plus state fees”.

→Every US state charges its own fee to form an entity, and its own annual report or franchise tax to keep it alive. Those amounts are set by the state.
→They go to the state, not to Prolify. We do not mark them up and we do not take a cut.
→They vary enough between states to change your decision, which is why we quote the exact figure for your state before you pay rather than after.
→Anyone advertising an all-in US formation price without naming a state is either absorbing a cost they will recover elsewhere, or has not told you yet.

Forming a new company

Three plans, one price each.

Each covers the first year. The state’s own filing fee is quoted in full before you pay.

Choosing

Which one are you?

Choosing a plan
If this is you	The plan that fits
You want the company formed properly, and you will run it yourself	The entry plan. Formation, EIN support, registered agent, a US address and a first-year compliance calendar — the things that are painful to retrofit.
You want the filings handled, not just the formation	The middle plan, and the one most founders take. It adds the compliance workflow, annual report tracking, banking routing and an onboarding call with a person.
You want someone accountable for it	The top plan. A named advisor, tax and bookkeeping partner coordination, and escalation support when a bank or a state stops responding.
You already have a US entity	The existing-entity plan keeps it active and on schedule. If you also want the books and filings handled, the middle plan is the usual landing point for a migration.

Add-ons

Two things you can add. Most founders do not.

→Annual State Compliance$199
Adds the annual state compliance filing to a plan that does not already cover it.
→Expedited Formation$300
Buys the state's own faster processing queue where one exists. Where it does not, no fee changes the timeline.

How it works

One price, covering the first year.

→Each formation plan is a single price covering your first year, with the state's own filing fee quoted separately before you pay.
→Bookkeeping is the exception and is billed monthly.
→You can upgrade at any time and it is prorated. Nothing is locked behind a sales call.
→Your state's annual obligation continues regardless of who you use — it belongs to the state, not to any provider.

The alternative

What you would be buying separately.

None of this is exotic. It is the list every founder ends up assembling, usually one emergency at a time, from providers who cannot see each other.

→A filing service to form the entity
→A registered agent, renewed annually
→A US business address that a bank will accept
→Someone to get the EIN without an SSN
→A bookkeeper, once there are transactions
→A tax preparer who has seen a foreign-owned entity before
→A spreadsheet holding every deadline, maintained by you

Added up

The plans above are that list, bought once, from one place, with one record of what was filed and when.

If we make a formation error, we refund that part.

If Prolify makes a formation error on our end, we refund that portion of your plan. No questions, no escalation, no negotiation. It is deliberately specific: it covers our mistakes, not a change of mind, and not a decision a state or a bank makes.

What no plan buys

Three things we will not sell you.

→A guaranteed bank account. Issuers decide, and they change country policies without notice. Prolify prepares and routes the application; the beneficial owner submits it.
→Legal or tax advice. The guides cite the authority for every obligation.
→A faster state. Expedited processing buys the state's own faster queue where one exists. Where it does not, no fee changes the timeline.

What founders ask before they pay.

What does “+ state fees” mean?

Every U.S. state charges its own filing fee for forming an entity, plus an annual report or franchise tax. State fees go to the state, not to Prolify. We quote the exact fee for your state before checkout.

I already have an entity — which plan?

Existing LLC Compliance keeps your entity active and on schedule, with the first 30 days free. If you also want compliance workflows, banking routing, and bookkeeping coordination, Growth or Elite is the usual landing point for migrations.

How am I billed?

One price per plan, covering your first year, with state fees quoted separately before checkout. Bookkeeping is the exception and is billed monthly.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes — prorated, any time.

What continues after the first year?

Your state's own obligation does — an annual report, a franchise tax, or both, depending on where you formed. That belongs to the state and continues whoever you use. What Prolify charges to keep running alongside it is confirmed with you before it falls due, and the company itself only gets formed once.

Do you take a cut of the state fee?

No. The state fee is passed through at cost. We quote it before checkout so the total you approve is the total you pay.

One price, and the state’s own fee. Nothing after that.
