Swyft Filings vs ZenBusiness FAQs

  • Ultimately, it depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re just seeking basic LLC formation, both Swyft Filings and ZenBusiness offer $0 LLC formation packages (you only pay state fees). But if you also need registered agent or compliance services, Swyft Filings is significantly more expensive — they charge $199 per quarter ($796 per year) for registered agent service. ZenBusiness charges $199 per year for registered agent service (and the first year is only $99 when bundled with a business formation).

  • Swyft Filings and ZenBusiness have similar filing speeds that depend on the plan you select. Swyft Filings’ Basic package typically takes 7–10 business days, the Standard package about 5 business days, and the Premium package 1 business day.

    At ZenBusiness, our Standard package offers processing within 7–10 business days, while both our Pro and Premium plans include our fastest processing time: one business day.

    Note: These timeframes describe how quickly each company submits filings to the state, not how long the state itself takes to approve them.

  • We certainly think so — though we admit that sounds a little biased. Don’t just take our word for it; thousands of customers on Trustpilot agree. Across 26,015, we have  4.8 out of 5-star average rating. To date, we’ve helped form over 850,000 business entities, and we’re committed to providing every customer with the same excellent service.

  • Swyft Filings is ideal for entrepreneurs seeking a straightforward and low-commitment way to file their LLC quickly. However, its add-on services—especially registered agent service—are expensive, making it less cost-effective for businesses that need ongoing support or compliance tools.

  • Every entrepreneur has different needs and priorities, so the “best” LLC service depends on the situation. Some focus on affordability, others need compliance assistance, and others prioritize turnaround speed.

    That said, ZenBusiness offers a balance of affordability, speed, and long-term compliance support to help every entrepreneur confidently start and manage their new company.

  • ZenBusiness is significantly cheaper than Swyft Filings once you add the essentials. Here’s the simplest apples-to-apples comparison using the lowest-cost option from each company that includes registered agent service, EIN filing and ongoing compliance support.
