Updated February 2026 · 5 min read

LegalZoom's recurring subscriptions range from $8.99/month for registered agent service to $31.25-$55.75/month for legal plans. Many business owners signed up during LLC formation and forgot to cancel the add-ons. Here's how to cancel each.

Cancel by Phone (Most Reliable)

1. Call 1-800-773-0888 (Mon-Fri 5am-7pm PST, Sat 7am-4pm)
2. Say "I want to cancel my subscription"
3. Specify which service: Registered Agent, Business Advisory, Legal Plan, or Compliance Calendar
4. They'll try retention discounts — decline if you've decided
5. Get a confirmation number and email confirmation

Cancel Online (Limited)

1. Log in at legalzoom.com/account
2. Go to My Account → Subscriptions
3. Click Cancel next to the subscription you want to end
4. Not all subscriptions show a cancel option online — phone call may be required

Transferring Your Registered Agent

1. Choose a new registered agent (see alternatives below)
2. File a Change of Registered Agent form with your state (most states: $5-25 fee)
3. Wait for the state to confirm the change (usually 1-5 business days)
4. Then cancel LegalZoom's registered agent service

LegalZoom Subscription Costs vs. Alternatives

• LegalZoom Registered Agent: $299/year
• Northwest Registered Agent: $125/year (same service, better reviews)
• Registered Agents Inc.: $100/year
• Be your own agent: $0 — you can serve as your own registered agent if your state allows it and you have a physical address in that state

LegalZoom Legal Plan: $31.25-$55.75/month ($375-$669/year) for 30-minute attorney consultations and document review. Most small businesses need a lawyer 1-2 times per year — paying hourly ($150-300) is usually cheaper than a monthly subscription.

Common LegalZoom Billing Surprises

• Compliance Calendar: Auto-added during LLC formation — $99/year to remind you of filing dates (your state sends you reminders for free)
• Business Advisory Plan: Added as a "recommended" add-on — $11.99/month for basic compliance guidance
• Multiple subscriptions: Many customers unknowingly have 2-3 LegalZoom subscriptions running simultaneously
• Annual billing: Some plans charge annually without monthly reminders — check your billing page for renewal dates
