Bizee Review (Formerly Incfile): Still the Best Value? (2026)

Bizee: Overview

Bizee, formerly known as Incfile, has been helping entrepreneurs form LLCs since 2004. The company rebranded to Bizee in 2023 but kept the same team, processes, and pricing that made Incfile one of the most popular budget formation services in the United States. With over 1 million businesses formed, they have one of the longest track records in the industry.

The company's value proposition is straightforward: form your LLC for $0 plus your state fee, get the first year of registered agent service free, then pay the lowest registered agent renewal rate at $119/year. This makes Bizee the cheapest total cost of ownership option over any multi-year period. Over 3 years, Bizee costs roughly $238 in registered agent fees (free first year, then $119/yr x 2) compared to $414 for Northwest and $597 for ZenBusiness.

Where Bizee loses points is in speed and polish. Standard processing takes 10 business days — slower than Northwest (5 days), ZenBusiness (7 days), and Tailor Brands (7 days). The dashboard, while functional, lacks the modern feel of ZenBusiness. But if your priority is getting the most value per dollar, Bizee is hard to beat.

Pricing Breakdown

Bizee offers three tiers: Basic, Standard, and Premium — all with one-time pricing plus state fees. The Basic plan ($0 + state fee) covers LLC formation, standard processing at 10 business days, lifetime compliance alerts, and the first year of registered agent service free. After year one, registered agent service renews at $119/year — the lowest renewal rate of any major formation service.

The Standard plan ($199 one-time + state fee) adds an operating agreement template, EIN filing, banking resolution template, and IRS Form 2553 for S-Corp election. Unlike ZenBusiness and LegalZoom which charge annual fees for their mid-tier plans, Bizee's Standard plan is a one-time payment.

The Premium plan ($299 one-time + state fee) adds everything in Standard plus expedited filing speed, business document templates, and a domain name with business email. This is ideal for founders who want the fastest formation with the most complete setup package.

The one-time pricing model is a significant advantage. ZenBusiness Pro costs $199/year every year, while Bizee Standard costs $199 once. Over 3 years, that saves you $398 compared to ZenBusiness Pro, assuming you need the same features.

Registered agent pricing is where Bizee truly shines. The first year is free on all plans, then $119/year after that. That is $6/year cheaper than Northwest ($125/yr), $80/year cheaper than ZenBusiness ($199/yr), and $130/year cheaper than LegalZoom ($249/yr). Over 5 years, those savings add up to $400-$650.

Features & What You Get

$0 LLC Formation: Bizee files your Articles of Organization with your state for free. Standard processing takes approximately 10 business days, which is the slowest on our list. Rush processing is available for an additional fee and reduces turnaround to approximately 3 business days.

Lifetime Compliance Alerts: All plans include free compliance monitoring that tracks annual report deadlines, franchise tax due dates, and other state requirements for the life of your LLC. Unlike some competitors that charge extra for compliance tracking, Bizee includes this on the free tier.

Registered Agent Service: The first year of registered agent service is included free with formation. After year one, renewal is $119/year. Bizee provides a physical address in your state to receive legal documents, which are scanned and uploaded to your online account.

Operating Agreement & EIN (Standard plan): The Standard plan includes a state-specific operating agreement template and EIN filing with the IRS. It also includes a banking resolution template, which some banks require when opening a business checking account.

Customer Support

Bizee offers customer support via phone and email during standard business hours. The support team is knowledgeable about the formation process and state-specific requirements. However, phone wait times can be longer than competitors like Northwest, which assigns a dedicated Corporate Guide to each customer.

Email support typically responds within 24 hours, which is on par with most competitors. The company does not offer live chat, which puts it behind ZenBusiness and LegalZoom in terms of support channel options.

The overall support experience is adequate but not a differentiator. Bizee earns its 4.7 rating on value and reliability, not on support quality. If responsive, personal support is important to you, Northwest is the better choice.

Who It's Best For

Cost-conscious founders focused on long-term savings: Bizee's combination of $0 formation and $119/yr registered agent renewal makes it the cheapest option over any multi-year horizon. If you plan to maintain your LLC for 3+ years and want to minimize ongoing costs, Bizee delivers the most value.

Founders who don't need rush processing: If you are not in a hurry to get your LLC formed, the 10-day standard processing time is a non-issue. Many founders start the formation process weeks or months before they actually need the LLC to be active.

Second-time LLC owners who know what they need: If you have formed an LLC before and just want the paperwork filed quickly and cheaply without hand-holding, Bizee's no-frills approach is ideal. You do not need a pretty dashboard or dedicated support if you already understand the process.

How It Compares to Other Services

Bizee vs. ZenBusiness: Both offer $0 formation, but Bizee wins on registered agent cost ($119/yr vs. $199/yr) and has a one-time pricing model for its Standard plan vs. ZenBusiness's annual Pro fee. ZenBusiness wins on processing speed (7 days vs. 10 days), dashboard quality, and compliance automation. Choose Bizee for lowest total cost; choose ZenBusiness for the best user experience.

Bizee vs. Northwest: Bizee offers $0 formation vs. Northwest's $39, and slightly cheaper registered agent renewal ($119/yr vs. $125/yr). Northwest wins on processing speed (5 days vs. 10 days), privacy features (free mail forwarding), and customer support quality. The cost difference is minimal — choose based on whether you value support or savings more.

Bizee vs. LegalZoom: Bizee is significantly cheaper across the board. Both offer $0 formation, but Bizee's registered agent is $119/yr vs. LegalZoom's $249/yr. Over 3 years, Bizee saves you $390 in registered agent fees alone. LegalZoom's only advantage is access to attorneys and legal add-ons.
