Purpose-Built Software vs. Service-First Model
Filejet offers a modern, tech-forward platform built for automation and scale. Traditional RA's are primarily service providers with limited software functionality.
Automation Advantage
Filejet automates critical compliance tasks—like annual reports, business license renewals, and legal mail access—reducing manual workload and risk. RA's offer basic reminders but lack end-to-end automation.
Superior Collaboration Tools
Filejet supports cross-functional teams with shared access, permission controls, and white-labeled client portals—ideal for firms managing multiple stakeholders. RA's have limited collaboration capabilities.
Advanced Document & Calendar Management
Filejet centralizes documents in a SOC 2-compliant system and offers dynamic, per-entity compliance calendars. RA's provide basic deadline tracking and document storage with less configurability.
Built to Scale
Filejet is designed for law firms, accounting firms, and in-house legal teams managing complex entity structures. RA's are better suited for small businesses with simpler needs.
Customization & Branding
Filejet delivers co-branded portals and experiences for clients. RA's offer a standard interface with no customization options.
Migration & Onboarding Support
Filejet provides full-service onboarding and cleanup of existing entity data. RA's offer onboarding but with less automation and scalability.
Transparent, Flexible Pricing
Filejet offers clear tiered pricing with options for flat fee, revenue share, and buy-rate. RA pricing varies and lacks transparency.
Nationwide Registered Agent Coverage
Both providers offer full 50-state registered agent services, ensuring legal documents are received and processed without delay.
Dedicated Compliance Support
Clients of both providers benefit from knowledgeable support teams that can assist with filings, entity maintenance, and state-specific requirements.
