Pricing questions

Why is the subscription priced per entity?
Each entity has its own deadlines, vault, score, and compliance state. Pricing per entity keeps single-entity founders at a fair $29/mo while letting agencies with 25+ entities access volume tiers down to $10.75/mo per entity on Enterprise.
Do you mark up state fees?
Never. State fees are passed through at exactly what the state charges. The receipt attached to every filing shows the state's direct charge.
Why no bundles or discount packages?
Bundles drive bad behavior. Customers buy filings they don't need to hit a discount tier, and they hide the true unit price. Each filing stands on its own. Subscriptions cover the workspace. That's the whole pricing model.
Is formation really $0?
Yes. The service fee for LLC and C-Corp formation is $0. You pay only the state filing fee, passed through at cost. Specialty entities (Nonprofit 501(c)(3), Series LLC, PLLC) have small service fees due to the extra preparation work.
What is the difference between Compliance Suite and the Business OS?
Suite ($129/yr per entity) is the compliance-only subset: score, calendar, alerts, RA year 1, vault. Business OS ($249/yr per entity, $29/mo) adds BosAI, forms library, bulk filing engine, team workspace, audit logs, custom domain, unified inbox, CRM integrations, and the API. Suite is for solo founders. Business OS is for teams and portfolios.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period. Your filing history and Vault stay accessible read-only. 14-day money-back guarantee on new Business OS and Enterprise subscriptions.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major US credit cards, ACH (US bank), and wire (Enterprise). International cards accepted for non-US founders. Stripe-processed. We never store card numbers.
