Rocket Lawyer charges for a yearly membership, not for the filing: Standard costs $149/year ($12.41/month, billed yearly), Plus $249/year ($20.75/month, billed yearly) and Pro $349/year ($29.08/month, billed yearly). Each covers the filing service for your first business at no added charge ("Your first one is FREE with a Rocket Lawyer membership!"), but the state's fee is still yours to pay. The memberships renew at the same price every year, and the registered agent ($125 a year), EIN ($70) and annual report filing are extra charges on top.1, 2, 3
The three memberships cost $149/year ($12.41/month, billed yearly), $249/year ($20.75/month, billed yearly) and $349/year ($29.08/month, billed yearly), each billed once a year after a free 7-day trial, and all three carry the same LLC registration offer.1
Rocket Lawyer also shows the prices per month ($12.41/month, $20.75/month and $29.08/month), but each is billed as one yearly charge. The cards list the items our record holds for each tier.1

What changes from tier to tier is lawyer access. Standard caps written attorney questions (Limit 12). Plus raises that cap (Limit 36) and adds live attorney calls. Pro lists both with no limit listed. The document library, contract review, AI answers, reminders and the name and logo generator are the same on all three.1
The registration line is the formation price, and it covers one business free; any business after that is $99 + state fees. Rocket Lawyer notes the offer excludes government and third-party fees and that it requires a current membership.1
Our rating compares Standard membership, the plan our method selects under its price cap, and counts 4 services it includes for good. It rates 6.8 out of ten; how we rate explains the parts.
In year two you pay the membership again at the same price, plus any agent you added. A Standard member who keeps the plan pays $149/yr (billed yearly); Plus renews at $249/yr (billed yearly) and Pro at $349/yr (billed yearly).1
That makes Rocket Lawyer's year two look unlike formation services that charge once. Across the first and second year, our figure for Standard membership is $298 before state fees: two yearly charges and nothing else. On Plus or Pro the membership costs more each year, and any add-on that renews comes on top of it.
Nothing on the plan cards is free for a limited time and then billed. The one trial is the membership's own free 7-day trial, after which the first yearly charge runs.1
Refunds are tied to purchase date. The terms put the request window within 30 days of purchase, and our record notes none on annual plans after 30 days.4
Three services that some formation plans bundle are separate at Rocket Lawyer, and two of them can't be bought on Standard.
| Add-on | Price | Who can buy it |
|---|---|---|
| Registered agent | $125/year2 | Requires Rocket Lawyer Plus or Pro membership2 |
| EIN | $703 | Plus and Pro only |
| Annual report filing | $100 with Pro membership5 | Pro only, excluding state fees5 |
The registered agent renews in successive 1-year terms until cancelled, so it repeats every year beside the membership. Rocket Lawyer doesn't say whether the EIN price is charged once or yearly. The annual report charge applies per filing, and the state's own report fee is added to it.4
A Standard member who wants the agent or the EIN has to move up to Plus first. Year one for that member is the Plus fee plus $125 for the agent, before the state fee, and year two repeats both.2
Rocket Lawyer doesn't publish a rush or expedite price, and it doesn't publish a standard processing time either.
The only speed-up available is whatever the state sells, at the state's price. The LLC timeline guide covers state review times, and the fastest filing list shows providers that state a turnaround.
No. The registration offer covers Rocket Lawyer's service only and leaves out government fees, so the state filing fee is paid on top at every tier.
The median state LLC filing fee across the states we track is $100. The state fee table lists each state, and the cost calculator adds a membership and a state together. Later state charges, such as a yearly report fee or franchise tax, are also outside every membership; even Pro's report filing lists the state fee as extra.

The filing service costs nothing extra for a member's first business, but the cheapest membership is $149/year ($12.41/month, billed yearly), and the state's filing fee is extra. A second business costs $99 + state fees.1
Standard is shown as $12.41/month, Plus as $20.75/month and Pro as $29.08/month. Each is billed as a single yearly charge after the free 7-day trial, not month by month.1
It costs $125/year and is sold only to Plus and Pro members, on top of the membership fee. It renews in successive 1-year terms until you cancel.2, 4
Yes. The EIN service is $70 for Plus and Pro members, and the pricing page shows it as "Not included" on Standard.3
The membership renews at $149/yr (billed yearly) on Standard, $249/yr (billed yearly) on Plus or $349/yr (billed yearly) on Pro. A registered agent, if bought, renews beside it, and state report fees are separate.1
