Is Incfile worth it in 2026?

Incfile is Bizee now. It is worth it when you want $0 + state-fee filing and will model the year-two agent. It is not worth it as a lawyer.

Short answer

Yes — for a US owner who searched Incfile, will file a home-state LLC at $0 + state fee on Bizee Basic, and will decline EIN and template upsells they can get free. No — if you only need a registered agent (Northwest is the specialist), if you are forming a Delaware C-corp to raise (Atlas), or if you think a $0 checkout is legal advice. Incfile rebranded to Bizee. Same Houston-rooted filer; the login moved to bizee.com. We are not your lawyer.

This sits next to Is LegalZoom worth it, Is Northwest worth it, and the registered-agent ranking. LegalZoom is the other consumer $0 filing. Northwest is the agent craft. Atlas is a startup kit.

The September 20, 2026 math

Bizee (Incfile): Basic $0 + state fee; Standard $199 + state; Premium $299 + state on bizee.com. Registered agent: free first year with formation; standalone $149/year on Bizee’s agent page. Some 2026 recaps cite $119 renewals on certain plans — confirm your checkout. EIN is free at IRS.gov.

  • Basic $0 + state + free year-one agent vs LegalZoom $0 + state + $249/year if you buy their agent.
  • Year two: model $149 (or the number on your cart), not $0.
  • Northwest $39 + state fee if you wanted the agent without a consumer funnel.
  • Atlas $500 including Delaware government fees — different entity.

When Incfile / Bizee is worth it

  • You already have an Incfile login. Do not start over at LegalZoom for a logo.
  • Home-state LLC, $0 Basic, you will file the EIN yourself.
  • You want a published $149 agent if you did not form with Northwest.
  • A partner searched “Incfile” and you need the honest rebrand answer.

When it is not

  • You only need an agent. Northwest.
  • Internet startup, likely raise, Stripe: Atlas.
  • You want attorney minutes as the product: LegalZoom’s paid lanes — still not a law firm.
  • You need securities or a real operating agreement: a lawyer.
  • You only needed scans of Amazon boxes: virtual mailbox.

Honest alternatives

LegalZoom on the same $0 + state-fee genre. ZenBusiness for a dashboard-shaped competitor. Northwest if the agent is the job. Stripe Atlas for Delaware startup docs. The state website if you will do the PDF. PhysicalAddress if the job is mail, not service of process.
