How much does doola cost?

doola prices its plans annually, and there are four. Starter is $297 per year and covers LLC formation. Pulse Bookkeeping is $300 per year for the books alone. Total Compliance is $1,999 per year and bundles formation, bookkeeping, and your annual tax filing. Business-in-a-Box is $2,999 per year (about $329 per month) and adds priority support and advanced features. Every plan is quoted before state filing fees, which are separate.

Those state fees are small but real: roughly $100 in Wyoming or $110 in Delaware to actually register the entity, paid on top of doola's fee. So the true first-year cost of the entry plan is around $397 plus the state fee, not $297 flat.

The jump from Starter to Total Compliance is large because it changes what you are buying: Starter forms the company, while Total Compliance keeps it legally compliant all year, including the federal tax return that foreign-owned US LLCs are required to file. For many international founders, that filing is the reason to pay the higher tier rather than a nice-to-have.

For budgeting the whole picture, remember business formation is a multi-year cost: registered agent renewals, state annual fees, and mandatory tax filings recur every year, so compare services on their three-year total, not just the formation fee.
