MYCOMPANYWORKS VS. INCORPORATE.COM

Which Is Better for LLC Formation?

Looking for the best service to start your LLC? We used MyCompanyWorks and Incorporate.com to form LLCs, then compared their features.

In this MyCompanyWorks vs. Incorporate.com review, we’ll let you know if either is worth your time and money. We also recommend checking out our list of the top 5 LLC formation services.

Recommended Step Before Using MyCompanyWorks or Incorporate

It’s important to name your business before going through the LLC formation process with a service provider. TRUiC’s Free LLC Name Generator will help you to do the following:

• Discover the perfect business name for your company.
• Conduct a business name search to make sure your desired name is available in your state and not already taken.
• Help verify the availability and secure a domain name for your LLC.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS: MYCOMPANYWORKS VS. INCORPORATE.COM

When we started researching Incorporate.com and MyCompanyWorks, we focused on three main questions:

• Is it a good deal?
• Is there a better deal?
• Who uses this service and how was their experience?

Answering these questions will boost your confidence so you can choose the best service to get your business up and running.

Which One is the Best Deal?

Incorporate.com and MyCompanyWorks have nearly identical package prices and an established reputation in the market. The two also don’t offer included registered agent service for their basic formation packages.

However, MyCompanyWorks still gives you more for your money. Businesses that still want to use MyCompanyWorks’ registered agent service only have to pay $99 a year--a lower price than some competitors. High-tier users can also enjoy a year of included registered agent service. Besides this, MyCompanyWorks gives all packages a customizable operating agreement, free tax consultations, and a free web domain. Middle and high tier packages also get benefits such as EIN registration.

Incorporate.com offers some great features such as EIN registration, operating agreements, annual report filing, and business license research on their middle and top tiers, but the lack of included registered agent service on any tier is hard to ignore. On top of that, Incorporate.com requires customers to use their $235 registered agent service in order to access their annual report filing feature--something that is not made clear off the bat.

Who Uses Each Service and What Was Their Experience?

MyCompanyWorks

Over a thousand MyCompanyWorks reviews exist online, and the majority of them are positive. Customers praised the speediness of their services and the knowledgeable customer support.

“Fantastic way to successfully and efficiently set up your business. MyCompanyWorks want your business to succeed. All the setup advice and checklists were incredibly helpful. MyCompanyWorks was very effective and had a fair competitive price.”

“Matt and his team are very knowledgeable, responsive, and always provide top notch customer service. I have used their service many times and will continue to do so. This company ROCKS!!”

Incorporate.com

Incorporate.com shows many positive verified reviews on their website. Other review sources provide more mixed reactions. Again, satisfied users complimented the customer service and efficiency.

“I chose incorporate.com because it was a fast and easy way to protect myself and my business. Making the decision to become an LLC was the turning point in the legitimacy and profitability of my company. Incorporate.com sends me reminder emails when payments are due so it is easy to remain in good standing with the state.”

“Avoid this company at all cost [sic]. They automatically opt you in to registered agent services (without a way to opt out) then will bill you for yearly services. When you don't pay, they send to [sic] a collection agency and it will mess up your credit.”

Is There a Better Deal Out There?

Incorporate.com and MyCompany are both good services with average prices, however some competitors offer just as much for less. ZenBusiness, for example, offers LLC formation starting at $39 (plus state fees) and includes a year of registered agent service as well as web domain services.

Takeaway

MyCompanyWorks gives its users quick formation at an average market price. While they aren’t the cheapest service, they still provide essential formation services and couple it with a great customer service system.

Incorporate.com also provides good support for its customers as well as competitive prices. That being said, the additional costs that they include to their formation packages may be daunting to some businesses on a budget.

RATING DETAILS: MYCOMPANYWORKS VS. INCORPORATE

This section takes an in-depth look at MyCompanyWorks VS. Incorporate.com, in terms of:

• Value
• Customer service
• Ease of use
• Included features

Value

While not the cheapest, MyCompanyWorks still offers competitive prices. It’s worth noting that many other competitors include registered agent service on all of their packages, while MyCompanyWorks only offers it on their highest tier. That being said, their registered agent service is only $99--less than most other services. In addition, they provide other services like operating agreements, EIN registration, tax consultations, and web domains as part of their packages.

Incorporate.com also offers competitive prices compared to the rest of the market. Middle and high tier packages include features like EIN registration, operating agreements, and business license searches. However, the lack of included registered agent service as well as a requirement to use that $235 service in order to use some middle and high tier services can be daunting to businesses on a budget.

Customer Service

MyCompanyWorks’ customer service is top-tier. Hundreds of positive reviews note the friendliness and flexibility of the customer service as well as their efficiency. Representatives are quick to respond by mail or by phone--usually within 20 minutes during regular business hours. Their 100% satisfaction guarantee also refunds or corrects customer accounts with no questions asked.

We’ve had great interactions with Incorporate.com’s customer support. Their service offers phone, email, and live chat services on their website 8am-8pm during regular business days. The representative we spoke with was informative and did not try to sell us anything extra. However, experiences can vary--available reviews for Incorporate.com are mixed.

Ease of Use

MyCompanyWorks is known for its efficient formation. Their step-by-step wizard helps customers walk through the entire formation process so that they don’t miss any state compliance details. This, coupled with a good website design, makes formation almost foolproof.

Incorporate.com’s design is clear, but sometimes the content is not. Some customer reviews have noted that while their package comparison page is straightforward, they needed to read through every optional feature during the checkout process before proceeding. Some features, like their registered agent service, aren’t listed as a required cost until later in the checkout pages. We advise you to do a close reading.

Included Features

MyCompanyWorks gives its users a lot of desirable features. The basic package alone includes customized operating agreements, free tax consultation, and a free web domain coupled with a year of hosting. On their middle tier, they offer EIN registration with formation. The biggest drawback is that they do not include registered agent service until their highest tier.

Incorporate.com also doesn’t include registered agent service. Unlike MyCompanyWorks, however, they require middle and high tier customers to sign up for their $235 registered agent service in order to use the annual report filing feature. That being said, they provide operating agreements and EIN registration at their middle tier as well as business license research at their top tier.
