Prices in a row
Each company's own price page was read on November 12, 2026. Naming a different agent does not change what Utah charges.

Each agent's price is added to the state charges that repeat (the Annual Report/Renewal from year two). The formation fee is not part of the total.

Utah registered agent rules, in the state's words
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be an actual street address or rural route box number in Utah. A P.O. box can follow the street address but cannot replace it.
Eligible agents: A commercial registered agent listed with the state, a noncommercial agent (an individual or entity), or the holder of a named position in the company. The rule comes from Utah Code § 16-17-203.
Charges that keep recurring
One thing recurs: the Annual Report/Renewal, at $18 every year, last day of the entity's anniversary month. Late filings add $10.
Reasoning for the ranking
Service cost across three years (36%) is the criterion on which Utah Registered Agent.co outscored UT Registered Agent.org here.
At $297 for three years, $150 beneath Mainstay Filing, Utah Registered Agent.co leads on cost.
