Incfile Review 2026: It's Bizee Now. Is It Any Good?

What happened to Incfile?

Incfile launched in 2004 and grew into one of the largest formation services in the country, claiming over a million businesses formed. In late 2023 the company announced it was rebranding to Bizee, with the new name and domain rolling out through 2024. The company said the change reflected a broader focus on services beyond formation, like compliance, taxes, and bookkeeping.

Nothing about the rebrand changed the core offer. If you formed your company through Incfile, your account, documents, and registered agent service now live under the Bizee name. If you see "Incfile" reviews and "Bizee" reviews with different tones, note the dates: they are the same company at different points in time.

Bizee pricing in 2026

Bizee sells three formation packages, each plus your state's filing fee:

• Basic: $0 + state fee. Preparation and filing of your formation documents, plus a free first year of registered agent service.

• Standard: $199 + state fee. Adds commonly needed items like an EIN and operating agreement that cost extra on Basic.

• Premium: $299 + state fee. The full bundle, including faster filing and additional business tools.

The headline is real: Bizee will file your LLC for the cost of your state fee alone. In a state with a low filing fee, you can have a legitimate LLC for under $100 all-in. That is the cheapest mainstream route to forming a company short of filing the paperwork yourself.

What the $0 tier really includes (and what costs extra)

The free tier is a genuinely free filing, but it is also the top of a sales funnel. Here is how the economics work.

Registered agent service. Every state requires one, and Bizee includes it free for year one. After that it renews automatically at roughly $119 per year (some packages renew higher). That renewal is where the free customer becomes a paying customer, and it is the single most common source of complaints from people who forgot they signed up.

EIN. Your federal tax ID is free if you apply directly with the IRS. On Bizee's Basic tier it is a paid add-on, and it is one of the most heavily promoted upsells in checkout. If you are comfortable filling out one government form, you do not need to pay anyone for an EIN.

Operating agreement, compliance service, and the rest. Templates and annual report filing services are all offered as add-ons during and after checkout. None are mandatory. Expect marketing emails encouraging you to add them.

None of this is a scam, and Bizee discloses its pricing. But you should go in understanding that "free" means "free filing, then we will try to sell you everything else." Decline what you do not need and calendar the registered agent renewal decision for month eleven.

Reputation: what reviews actually say

Bizee's review profile is unusually split, and both sides are telling the truth.

On Trustpilot, Bizee holds a 4.7 rating across roughly 25,000 reviews. Most reviewers describe exactly what the product promises: a cheap, fast, easy filing with responsive support. For the core job of forming an LLC, the machine works.

The complaints live elsewhere. On the BBB and consumer forums, the recurring themes are unexpected registered agent renewal charges, difficulty cancelling services, refund disputes, and slow support once money is involved. Notice the pattern: the happy reviews are about the purchase, the unhappy ones are about the relationship afterward. That is consistent with a volume business built on automatic renewals.

Our read: Bizee is legitimate and does what it says, but it rewards customers who read what they are signing up for and punishes those who do not.

Pros and cons

Cons

• Persistent upsells during and after checkout

• Support quality drops off for cancellations and refunds

Who Bizee is for, and who should skip it

Use Bizee if you are forming a straightforward LLC for a small business, freelance practice, or side project and your main constraint is cost. Pair it with a direct IRS EIN application and a calendar reminder about the registered agent renewal, and you will get real value. If you are still deciding on entity type, our guide to S corps vs LLCs covers the tax tradeoffs.

Skip Bizee if you are starting a company that will raise venture capital. Investors expect a Delaware C corporation with properly issued founder stock, and the 83(b) election that follows has a hard 30-day deadline. Bizee does not handle any of that. Purpose-built services do: our best incorporation services guide compares them, and Rho Incorporation (yes, that's us) forms attorney-reviewed Delaware C corps for $400, refunded when you open a Rho account and keep a $10,000 average checking balance for 60 days, with a first-year registered agent included, your SS-4 (EIN application) prepared and submitted for you, 83(b) election support, and same-day access to Rho banking once approved.
