Comparison
Corply vs doola.
doola is a subscription bundle — LLC-first formation plus ongoing bookkeeping, tax, and compliance for global founders. Corply is a flat-fee, agent-first way to form a venture-ready Delaware C-Corp from Claude Code, with binding cofounder e-signatures collected in-chat and a human reviewing every Delaware filing.
Side by side
| Corply | doola | |
|---|---|---|
| Interface | Your own Claude Code (agent-driven conversation, end to end) | Web portal; an MCP integration announced in 2026 can initiate a formation from chat |
| Entity types | Delaware C-Corp | LLC, C-Corp, and DAO LLC across several states (LLC is the core product) |
| Price | Flat fee, no hourly billing (see corply.dev) | Subscriptions from ~$297/yr plus state fees; compliance bundles ~$1,999–2,999/yr (as published, mid-2026) |
| EIN | Included in the flow | Included, no SSN required |
| Founder stock + 83(b) | Stock issuance and 83(b) workflow with deadline tracking | Formation-and-compliance focused; venture stock paperwork is not the center of the product |
| Cofounder signing | Each cofounder reviews PDFs via magic link and e-signs from their own Claude Code (ESIGN/UETA audit trail) | Web e-signature |
| Delaware filing | Human-reviewed before every submission | Handled through the portal |
| Beyond formation | Approvals, documents, deadlines, and company context stay queryable by your agent | Bookkeeping, tax filings (incl. Form 5472), registered agent, US address, compliance calendar — via subscription |
| Best for | Venture-track founders and cofounder teams who live in the terminal | Global founders (often e-commerce) who want formation plus ongoing compliance in one subscription |

The honest verdict
doola is a strong pick for what it targets: global founders — often running e-commerce — who want an LLC formed and then never want to think about Form 5472, bookkeeping, or annual filings again. Its multi-state and multi-entity flexibility, low entry price, and 2026 MCP integration are real strengths.
Corply is built for a different founder: a venture-track team that needs the Delaware C-Corp investors expect, wants every cofounder's signature collected with a proper ESIGN/UETA audit trail, and works where the agent already lives — Claude Code.

Do it from Claude Code
Corply runs the whole flow — application, documents, cofounder e-signature, and a human-reviewed Delaware filing — from one command.

FAQ
- Is Corply a doola alternative?
- For a venture-track Delaware C-Corp, yes — Corply generates the standard investor-expected documents, collects binding cofounder e-signatures, and human-reviews the Delaware filing. For a Wyoming or New Mexico LLC with bundled bookkeeping and tax filing, doola is built for exactly that, and Corply doesn't form LLCs.
- Doesn't doola also work from Claude?
- doola announced an MCP integration in 2026 that can initiate a formation from a chat, which is genuinely notable. The difference is depth: Corply's entire product is agent-native — the application, document generation, each cofounder's e-signature, and your company records after formation all live in Claude Code, with a human reviewing every Delaware submission.
- Which is better for a venture-backed startup?
- Investors expect a Delaware C-Corp with the standard document set — certificate, bylaws, board consent, founder stock with vesting and IP assignment, and a timely 83(b). That venture stack is Corply's core product. doola's core is LLC formation and ongoing compliance for global founders; it offers C-Corps but isn't specialized in venture paperwork.
- Which is cheaper?
- The models differ: doola is a recurring subscription (from ~$297/yr plus state fees, with larger compliance bundles, as published mid-2026 — verify at doola.com); Corply is a flat fee with no hourly billing (see corply.dev). Compare total cost over the years you'd keep the subscription.
