What they do well

A legal-services marketplace with enormous brand reach: formations, legal plans, attorney access, and an agent service attached to all of it.

Choose LegalZoom if

You want one vendor for legal subscriptions and attorney access, and the agent is a line item inside that relationship.

Choose us if

The agent, the calendar, and the mail are the whole purchase — you would rather pay $149 for the desk that does only this than $249 inside a catalogue that does everything.

If you choose them today because we are not open in your state yet: the no-gap switch exists for exactly that. Hire the agent you need now; move when your state opens, successor first, with proof on the record.

Launch pricing, published before enrollment opens. State filing fees pass through at cost and are shown before anything is filed. The reminder tier — one entity’s ledger, watched and reminded — is free.

Enrollment is not open today. It opens when our wholesale fulfillment agreement is executed and a first test order has been completed and proven on the record. The founding list hears first — by state, in order. Questions before joining: write to the desk.
