When to Choose Each

Honest guidance, not a sales pitch.

Choose Stripe Atlas if…

  • You're a YC-style startup forming a Delaware C-Corp and plan to raise VC within 12 months
  • You want the lowest possible upfront cost and can handle compliance yourself
  • You're comfortable with the standard Atlas SAFE-based C-Corp structure
  • You only need a US company — no interest in UK, Germany, UAE, or Singapore

Choose Startifyz if…

  • You want to form a company outside Delaware — Wyoming, UK, Canada, Germany, UAE, or Singapore
  • You want ongoing compliance bundled in (annual reports, BOI, tax filings)
  • You prefer predictable monthly pricing over DIY compliance fees
  • You don't want a SAFE baked into your cap table
  • You want a dedicated account manager (Premium plan)

Already Formed with Atlas?

You don't need to re-incorporate. Move your registered agent and ongoing compliance to Startifyz — we handle the transition filings end-to-end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Startifyz a direct Stripe Atlas alternative?

Yes. Startifyz offers US company formation (LLC or C-Corp, including Delaware) with EIN, registered agent, and banking introductions — the core Stripe Atlas workflow — plus five additional jurisdictions: UK, Canada, Germany, UAE, and Singapore.

What does Stripe Atlas cost vs Startifyz?

Stripe Atlas charges a $500 one-time formation fee plus approximately $100/year for the registered agent from year two onward. Startifyz is subscription-based: $299/mo (Starter), $399/mo (Pro), or $699/mo (Premium), with 20% off annual billing. Startifyz subscriptions include ongoing compliance, which Stripe Atlas does not bundle.

Can I form a non-Delaware company with Stripe Atlas?

No. As of 2026, Stripe Atlas forms only Delaware C-Corps and Delaware LLCs. If you prefer Wyoming, Florida, or any non-US jurisdiction, Stripe Atlas is not an option. Startifyz supports multiple US states plus UK, Canada, Germany, UAE, and Singapore.

Does Stripe Atlas take equity in my company?

Stripe Atlas does not take equity directly. However, Atlas-formed C-Corps are set up with a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) structure that can lead to meaningful founder dilution if the company later raises capital. Startifyz does not use SAFEs and does not take any equity.

Can I switch from Stripe Atlas to Startifyz?

Yes. If you already have an Atlas-formed company, you can move the registered agent and ongoing compliance to Startifyz without re-incorporating. Our onboarding team handles the transition filings.

Which is faster — Stripe Atlas or Startifyz?

Both platforms typically complete US formation in 3-7 business days. EIN issuance for non-residents adds 2-4 weeks regardless of provider, because the bottleneck is the IRS, not the filing service.
