Why do Doola and Firstbase cost so much?

Services like Doola ($297/year) and Firstbase ($399+) charge you to do things for you — file your LLC paperwork, apply for your EIN, set up your registered agent. That's fine if you want zero involvement. But if you're willing to spend 30–60 minutes doing it yourself (with CPA guidance), you can do every single one of those things for free or near-free.

Daylee exists precisely for that: a free, CPA-verified guide that walks you through every step so you keep the $297–$399 in your pocket.
