Price comparison
Year 1: StartGlobal $599 all-inclusive. WyomingLLC $297 + state fee.
Pricing in all WyomingLLC customer-facing surfaces reads exactly $297 + state fee. We never bundle the state fee into a higher headline. The $297 service fee covers everything in the formation stack. The Wyoming state filing fee is paid separately to the Wyoming Secretary of State.

Common reasons founders switch from StartGlobal to WyomingLLC
- Annual cost shock: bundled subscriptions auto-renew at $1,000+/year for services you may not use
- Auto-renewal traps: surprise charges for upsells you did not actively re-subscribe to
- Slow customer support: ticket queues and generic responses; we offer direct WhatsApp access
- Bundled feature confusion: tier structures that make it hard to know what you are buying
- Generic operating agreement: templates that weaken Wyoming charging-order protection
- Higher cost for less depth: paying $1,000+ for formation when $297 covers the same core stack
- Banking introduction quality: fewer bank options or weaker prep coaching
