They form the company. The yearly filing is yours.

Stripe Atlas is $500 for the company, the EIN, founder stock, the 83(b), and a year of registered agent, with next-day expedited filing. Board consent and YC SAFE templates are written with Cooley LLP. You also get $2,500 in Stripe credits, over $50,000 in partner discounts, and the $500 back when you deposit $5,000 into Stripe Treasury. After that, Atlas emails you before Delaware and IRS deadlines and points you to partners. Pick it if you'll run payments on Stripe and you're happy to do the yearly filings yourself. Corply vs Stripe Atlas.

Clerky sells startup legal documents one at a time: $427 to incorporate, $299 for post-incorporation setup, then documents per use, like a $9 SAFE or a $199 stock plan, with annual report reminders. Its MCP server can read your cap table, and in August 2026 Clerky announced it's joining Stripe. Pick it if your lawyer runs the process. Corply vs Clerky.

They form the company, then sell you a plan

Firstbase forms in Delaware or Wyoming for $99 plus the required $299/year agent and state fees. Firstbase Agent files your annual report and franchise tax for $299 a year per state, and it sells bookkeeping, tax returns, and a mailroom, or all of it as Firstbase One for $199 a month. Pick it if you want one company running your books, taxes, and mail. Corply vs Firstbase.

doola is built around LLCs and plans. Starter is $297 a year plus state fees, including the EIN, registered agent, and US business address. Tax and Compliance, which adds annual filings and tax returns, is $1,999 a year. Its MCP can form an LLC inside a chat. Pick it if you want a Wyoming LLC with taxes on a plan. Corply vs doola.

Every forms a Delaware C-Corp for free and sells the back office around it: taxes from $1,500 a year, bookkeeping from $330 a month, payroll, and a startup bank account. Pick it if you plan to run finance and HR there anyway.

Formation and company records in your AI agent

Corply forms Delaware C-Corps and member-managed Florida LLCs from the AI agent you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or OpenCode. Every founder signs their own documents, and a person on our team checks every state filing before it goes out.

Then the work keeps going in the same agent. Each founder can choose managed 83(b) Certified Mail or file themselves with our instructions and reminders. When a cofounder leaves, a director joins, or a hire gets shares, we draft the consents and collect every signature. Before March 1 each year we run both of Delaware's franchise tax calculations and file once your officer approves the amount. With managed 83(b) mail, that costs $458 upfront for one founder; with self-filing, formation starts at $318. Then budget from $600/year total: $150 for the registered agent and Corply filing services, $50 report fee, and franchise tax estimated at $400. We don't do bookkeeping, tax returns, or a mailroom. The services above do.

How to choose

Each of these forms a company. So choose by who does the work after day one. If it's you and a lawyer, Atlas or Clerky. If it's an accounting team on a plan, Firstbase, doola, or Every. If it's your AI agent, that's what Corply is for. The decision guide goes deeper.

Do it from your agent

Form a Delaware C-Corp or a Florida LLC from your AI agent, then keep using the same agent for everything after.
