Overview
Bizee — formerly Incfile — is one of the most affordable ways to get an LLC on file. Its base package is genuinely free: you pay only your state’s filing fee, and Bizee prepares and submits your formation documents for you. With hundreds of thousands of businesses formed, it is a proven, high-volume option for cost-sensitive founders.
The free tier even bundles a year of registered agent service, which is unusual at this price. For a simple single-member LLC where you mostly need the paperwork filed correctly and cheaply, Bizee is hard to beat on upfront cost.
The catch is the experience around that low price. Checkout actively nudges you toward bundles, expedited processing, and add-ons, so it helps to know exactly what you need before you start. And like most “free formation” services, the included registered agent is free only for the first year — after that it renews at an annual fee you should budget for.
Bizee suits founders who are comfortable saying “no thanks” to upsells and want the lowest possible starting cost. If you’d rather pay a bit more for a calmer, privacy-first experience with stronger support, Northwest is usually the better fit.
Pros
- Free formation tier (pay state fee)
- Fast turnaround
- Bundled add-ons
Cons
- Upsells during checkout
- Registered agent free only year one
Pricing

Pricing is representative and changes often — confirm current plans and fees on the provider’s website before purchasing.
What you get for free
The free tier covers preparation and filing of your formation documents plus a year of registered agent service — you only pay the state filing fee.
Paid tiers add an EIN, operating agreement, and faster filing, but many founders can start on the free plan and add services later.
The catch: upsells and renewals
Checkout nudges you toward bundles and add-ons, so it pays to know what you actually need beforehand.
Registered agent service is free for year one, then renews at an annual fee — budget for that recurring cost.
Who it’s for
- Cost-sensitive US founders who want the lowest upfront price
- People comfortable saying “no” to checkout upsells
- Simple single-member LLCs that don’t need hand-holding
Who should look elsewhere
- Founders who want a calm, upsell-free experience
- Those who prioritize privacy practices and premium support

Our verdict
Bizee is hard to beat on price if you just need an LLC filed and you know which add-ons to skip. Watch the first-year registered agent renewal and the checkout upsells, and it’s a great value for straightforward formations.
Frequently asked questions
