Tailor Brands vs ZenBusiness (2027): Which Is Better?

The short version

Pick ZenBusiness if you want to see every price before you pay. Pick Tailor Brands only if you want the LLC bundled with logos and a website, and you are fine finding out the plan price after you create an account. All prices on this page exclude the state filing fee.

A note on sources: Tailor Brands' main site blocked our fetches, so its facts here come from its help center.

Cost: year one and year two

	Tailor Brands	ZenBusiness
Cheapest plan	Lite $0, filing only	Starter $0
Plan with operating agreement	Essential, priced after sign-up	Pro $199
Registered agent	Paid add-on, priced after sign-up	$199/yr
EIN	Add-on in every plan	In Pro; $99 otherwise
Year one	Unknown until sign-up	$398 (Pro + agent)
Year two	Unknown	$398 with Pro, $199 without

Tailor Brands' Essential and Elite plans are subscriptions whose prices appear only after you sign up (Tailor Brands plans). That makes a real first-year comparison impossible from the outside.

ZenBusiness publishes everything: Pro is $199 and renews at $199, and the agent is $199 a year (ZenBusiness pricing). Its agent page offers $99 for the first year (ZenBusiness registered agent), which disagrees with the LLC page.

What's included

Tailor Brands Essential and Elite include expedited filing, annual compliance and an operating agreement. Elite adds a 1-year domain, 8 logos and a website builder (Tailor Brands Elite). On Lite, expedited filing is a $99 add-on. Expedited filing gets your papers to the state within one business day but doesn't speed up the state, where approval runs from 1 day in Wyoming to 19 days in Delaware (Tailor Brands timing).

ZenBusiness Pro includes 1-day processing, Worry-Free Compliance, an operating agreement template, the EIN and a logo kit. Starter takes 7 to 10 business days, or $79 more for rush.

Renewals, refunds and cancelling

Tailor Brands' agent auto-renews, and you can only cancel it by filing a new agent with the state (Tailor Brands cancelling). Its system also won't accept a third-party agent (Tailor Brands agent), so you can't bring a cheaper one at formation. We found no refund terms to report for it.

ZenBusiness offers 60 days on formation plans, but its terms make a bundled order nonrefundable once any part is filed with the government (ZenBusiness terms). Its website builder trial is preselected at checkout and renews at $15 a month.

Customers rate both highly: Tailor Brands 4.8/5 from 18,278 Trustpilot reviews (Trustpilot), ZenBusiness 4.8/5 from 33,239 (Trustpilot).

Which one to choose

Choose ZenBusiness for almost every case. You can price it in full before checkout, and you can use any registered agent you like.

Choose Tailor Brands if branding is the point and you want logos, a domain and a site from one account. Sign up, write down the plan and agent prices, and compare them with the ZenBusiness table above before you pay.
