You went to form an LLC and ended up in a checkout flow with six upsells: $99 operating agreement, $79 EIN, $249/yr registered agent, "expedited" filing, "compliance guard," "business advisory." The headline price was $0. The cart was $600. CounselKey is what that should have looked like in the first place.
Free LLC formation in all 50 states. $0 from us, plus your state's filing fee at cost — no markup, no surcharge, no surprise line items at checkout.
WHY COUNSELKEY
• Free LLC formation — $0 plus state fee, passed through at cost.
• No upsell loop — operating agreement, EIN support, and editable documents are included, not add-ons.
• AI-drafted contracts in under 60 seconds — operating agreements, NDAs, service agreements, and more.
• Editable Word documents you actually own — not locked inside a portal you have to keep paying for.
• Compliance Autopilot — annual reports, franchise tax, and BOI (Beneficial Ownership) deadlines tracked automatically.
• Registered agent service included on the Autopilot plan.
• 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
• Built to beat LegalZoom, RocketLawyer, and Bizee on price and on honesty.
WHAT'S IN THE APP

ENTITIES — Every business you've formed, in one list. Tap any entity for its formation documents, state, EIN, and ongoing compliance status.

PRICING
Free where it should be free. The Free LLC tier really is $0 from us — you only pay the state's filing fee, which we pass through at cost. Compliance Autopilot starts at $99/year for businesses that want annual reports, franchise tax, BOI tracking, registered agent, and unlimited AI-drafted contracts handled for them.
WHO IT'S FOR
First-time founders who don't want to get nickel-and-dimed forming their first LLC. Solo operators who need contracts drafted today, not next week. Small business owners who keep missing annual report deadlines because nobody told them when they were due. Anyone who has ever closed a LegalZoom tab in frustration.
LEGAL NOTICE
CounselKey is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The app provides legal document automation, filing services, and compliance tracking. AI-drafted documents are customized from attorney-drafted templates and delivered as editable Word files; for unusual situations or high-stakes contracts, we recommend review by a licensed attorney and can refer you to one. Use of CounselKey does not create an attorney-client relationship.
