Three tiers, hidden fees in every one.
Swyft Filings markets an aggressive $49 Basic formation tier, but the ongoing compliance features people actually need — RA, annual reports, deadline tracking — are gated behind their $299 Premium package or sold as separate upsells. By the time you add RA, you've spent more than at ZenBusiness.

Swyft Filingsand TrueFormed use wholesale registered agent infrastructure to do the actual filing work — that part is identical. The difference is what each brand marks that wholesale rate up to.
Retail prices are Swyft Filings's and TrueFormed's public rates. See how our wholesale pricing works.
Swyft Filings is a real company that serves real customers. We just think you shouldn't have to pay 3-4x what the services cost wholesale.
Only if you genuinely don't need Registered Agent, EIN, or an Operating Agreement. If you need any of those (and any real LLC does), Swyft Standard ($149) becomes the honest comparison — still more than TrueFormed's $89 bundle that includes all of the above.
Swyft Standard Year 1 is $149. TrueFormed is $89 — $60 saved Year 1. Ongoing, Swyft's $248/yr (RA + annual report) vs our $198/yr saves $50/yr forever.
