- Bookkeeping, tax & compliance (Tax & Compliance plan) $799
One platform, fully managed.
Entity Inc can land near StartGlobal on price, but you would still run bookkeeping and tax filing as separate pieces. StartGlobal keeps formation, bookkeeping and federal tax filing in one place, done for you, with US-based support and a money-back guarantee, for a one-time $399 to form and a flat $149/month fully managed (or a la carte from $99/year).
First-year cost for a single-member, foreign-owned LLC in Wyoming (~$100 state fee), ~1,000 transactions / ~$100k revenue. Where Entity Inc does not offer bookkeeping or tax filing, we use third-party benchmarks (bookkeeping $2,400/yr, federal tax filing $800/yr) so the scope matches. Competitor pricing as of 2026-06 and may change.
Why founders switch to StartGlobal
Real concerns reported by Entity Inc users, and how we fix them.
$300 More Expensive
Entity Inc charges $899 for LLC formation, which is $300 more than StartGlobal. Despite the premium price, tax filing is not included, and bank account setup is guided rather than hands-on.
StartGlobal includes everything in its $399 one-time formation: LLC filing, EIN, registered agent, operating agreement, and actual bank account setup. No surprise add-ons.
Tax Filing Not Included Despite CPA Branding
Entity Inc markets itself as a CPA-backed service, but the $899 formation package does not include tax filing. Tax services are a separate engagement at additional cost.
StartGlobal is transparent about what is and is not included. Our $399 one-time formation covers filing and setup, and ongoing compliance starts from $99/year. Tax filing is available as a clear, separately priced add-on.
Brand New Identity
Entity Inc rebranded from "Online Taxman" in 2024. While the team has CPA experience, the Entity Inc brand itself has very limited public reviews and track record.
StartGlobal has a proven track record with 5,000+ companies formed across 150+ countries. Our reviews and reputation are established under one consistent brand.
Expensive Add-On Services
Payroll services cost $499 setup plus $46/month ongoing. These premium add-ons can quickly push the total cost well above the initial $899 formation fee.
StartGlobal keeps pricing simple. One flat formation package at $399 one-time, with ongoing compliance from $99/year or $149/month fully managed. Additional services are clearly priced with no pressure to upgrade.
