| Field | Stable | Northwest Registered Agent | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $49/mo business | $20/mo business | |
| Locations | US virtual business address | US business address; a Virtual Office tier with a leased-office document is available in 21 states | |
| Mail scanning | Every envelope is digitized (exterior) automatically with AI auto-extracting sender/recipient details; interior open-and-scan is available on request, but specific free-page limits are not published and should be confirmed at signup | Registered-agent-only clients get the first 5 regular-mail documents scanned free, with all state/official mail and service-of-process scanned without limit and junk mail shredded; the paid Mail Forwarding tier adds same-day digital scans of all mail | |

BEFORE YOU COMPARE
Caveats behind the comparison
Assumption
A listed street address is not automatically accepted by a bank, registry or marketplace.
Institutional rule
US mail authorization uses USPS Form 1583; a registered agent is a separate legal role.
Commercial change
Prices, allowances and fees are dated observations, not live quotes -- confirm on the provider's current pricing page before subscribing.
