Bizee (formerly Incfile) and Rocket Lawyer — Overview

Both platforms have been around for over a decade and process a large volume of LLC formations. They’re legitimate options with real track records. The core difference is scope: Bizee focuses on business formation, while Rocket Lawyer is a broader legal services platform with formation as one feature.

Bizee (formerly Incfile)

Bizee (incfile.com redirects to bizeeinc.com as of the rebrand) is purpose-built for business formation. It started in 2004 and has processed hundreds of thousands of business formations.

Their edge has always been the entry-level tier: state filing fee only, no service fee on the base package. That remains true — though verify current pricing at their site, as it can change.

Pricing

Bizee offers tiered LLC formation packages. Pricing structure (verify current amounts — state fees vary):

Base tier — service fee of $0 (you pay state filing fee only). Typically includes:

• Business name availability check
• Articles of Organization preparation and filing
• One year of registered agent service (free)
• Lifetime customer support
• Basic tax guidance

Middle tier — adds:

• EIN (Employer Identification Number) acquisition
• Operating Agreement template
• Expedited filing
• Business bank account setup support

Top tier — adds:

• Priority processing
• Business website setup
• Expanded compliance tools

This is a formation-first product. Once your LLC is formed, ongoing legal needs require either upgrading or going elsewhere.

Pros

• Strong entry price for basic LLC formation
• One year of free registered agent is genuinely useful — most competitors charge for this
• Order tracking so you can see exactly where your filing stands
• Rebrand to Bizee brought a refreshed dashboard and compliance tools
• Long track record and large volume of completed formations

Cons

• Upsells throughout the checkout flow — budget carefully
• EIN filing costs extra on the base plan (verify current fee)
• Not a substitute for legal counsel on complex matters
• Ongoing legal support is limited compared to Rocket Lawyer

Rocket Lawyer

Rocket Lawyer launched in 2008 and positioned itself differently from the start: it’s a legal services platform that also does formation, not a formation service that also does documents.

Pricing

Rocket Lawyer uses a subscription (membership) model rather than tiered formation packages. A free trial period is typically offered; after that, a monthly membership fee applies. Members get discounted attorney rates (verify current discount), access to a large legal document library, and formation services bundled in.

If you only need to form one LLC and never need legal documents again, the membership model can feel expensive. If you anticipate ongoing legal needs — contracts, employee agreements, lease reviews — the membership often pays for itself.

Pros

1. Large library of attorney-drafted legal document templates
2. On-demand attorney consultations (at member rates)
3. Document Defense feature for contract backup and tracking
4. Registered agent service available (not free)
5. Covers real estate, estate planning, and business law — not just formation

Cons

• Monthly membership fee makes it expensive for one-time formation use
• Registered agent is not included free — it’s an add-on
• Less formation-specific optimization than Bizee

Points of Comparison

Pricing and Value

For pure LLC formation, Bizee is cheaper — especially at the base tier where you pay only the state filing fee. Rocket Lawyer’s value proposition only clicks if you’re going to use the legal document library and attorney access regularly. If you form an LLC once and move on, Rocket Lawyer’s membership cost is harder to justify.

Legal Services

Rocket Lawyer wins here decisively. Document templates, attorney Q&A, and on-demand legal review are core features. Bizee’s legal services are limited by comparison — you get the formation documents and basic compliance, not ongoing legal support.

Customer Service

Both platforms offer phone and email support. Bizee’s support hours are business-hours-focused; Rocket Lawyer has a broader window. Neither replaces a real attorney for complex situations.

Experience and Scale

Both platforms have processed large volumes of formations and have strong review profiles (verify current ratings — they fluctuate). The Bizee rebrand updated the user interface significantly from the old Incfile days.

Order Tracking

Bizee’s order tracking has historically been a differentiator — real-time status updates on where your formation stands in the state queue. Rocket Lawyer offers order status through your account dashboard. Both work; Bizee’s has tended to be more granular.

Which One Should You Choose?

Choose Bizee if: You’re forming a straightforward LLC, you want the lowest out-of-pocket cost, and you don’t anticipate ongoing legal document needs. The free registered agent year alone often covers the price difference.

Choose Rocket Lawyer if: You’re going to need legal documents regularly — employment agreements, client contracts, NDAs — and you want attorney access at a discount. The membership model is worth it when you’re actually using the legal library.

Neither is legal advice. Both platforms make it easier to file the paperwork, but they don’t replace consulting an attorney for anything complex — multi-member LLCs, unusual ownership structures, regulated industries, or anything with meaningful legal risk.

LLC Formation vs. Rocket Lawyer — 2026 FAQ

Is Incfile still around?

Incfile rebranded to Bizee in 2023. The platform is still operating under new branding at bizeeinc.com. All prior customers transferred over. If you see “Incfile” referenced, it’s the same underlying company.

Does Bizee’s free LLC formation actually cost nothing?

The service fee on the base tier is $0, but you still pay your state’s filing fee — which varies by state (verify your state’s current fee). Total out-of-pocket is the state fee only on that tier.

Is Rocket Lawyer worth it if I only need LLC formation?

Probably not if that’s all you need. The membership model charges ongoing fees, and Bizee does formation cheaper. Rocket Lawyer earns its cost when you actively use the legal document library and attorney consultations. If you’re forming and done, go with Bizee.

Should I use either platform instead of hiring an attorney?

For a simple single-member LLC in a non-regulated industry, either platform is a reasonable way to handle the paperwork. For anything more complex — multi-member LLCs with custom operating agreements, regulated industries, equity structures — get an actual attorney involved. These platforms reduce paperwork friction; they don’t substitute for legal judgment.

The shorter version

If you’re reading this because the workflow it describes is eating your week, that’s the kind of loop I build AI agents for. Two build slots open at a time.

Updated for May 2026

A short note from May 2026: the workflow this post describes was checked against the current state of the underlying tools and platforms. Where specific tools, UIs, or features have evolved, the structural advice still holds — the implementation will look slightly different in 2026. If you hit a step that doesn’t match what you see on screen, that’s likely a UI refresh, not a fundamental change in approach. Drop a note via the contact form and I’ll patch it explicitly.
