Globalfy vs doola: Which Is Better for Non-Resident Founders?

Last updated: October 14, 2026

If you’re choosing between Globalfy and doola to open your LLC, the answer depends less on the sticker price and more on three things: what kind of support you’ll get, how much you pay in year two, and who signs your federal return after formation. This article compares the two on those three points, using the prices published on both companies’ websites (checked in September 2026).

Key Takeaways (TL;DR)

• Best overall for non-resident founders: Globalfy. The Remote plan, at $998/year, already includes Form 5472 + 1120 pro-forma, the annual state renewal and a named account executive who speaks English, Portuguese or Spanish. At doola, the same tax coverage only appears on the $1,999/year plan.
• The problem it solves: a founder without an SSN can’t form a company, get an EIN and keep the LLC compliant on their own without stitching together three or four different providers. Both companies bring that into a single dashboard.
• Who it’s for: non-resident founders who sell in U.S. dollars, get paid through Stripe, Hotmart or Amazon, or serve clients in the U.S. 99% of Globalfy’s clients are non-residents and 95% choose an LLC over a Corporation.
• How to choose: compare tax coverage (who files the 5472), the kind of support you get and the year-two cost, not the formation price.
• Price range: both charge an annual subscription. doola runs from $297 to $2,999/year. Globalfy runs from $588 to $5,028/year. State fees are extra with both, from $50 (New Mexico) to $309 (Texas).

What this decision really involves

Forming the LLC is the short part. A Wyoming registration comes through in 1 to 7 business days and the EIN in a few days. The twelve months that follow are what tell you whether you chose well.

A foreign-owned single-member U.S. LLC carries obligations that may not exist in your home country and that don’t disappear if the company earns nothing. The main one is Form 5472, filed together with a pro-forma Form 1120. According to the IRS’s own instructions, failing to file costs $25,000 per form, per year, plus another $25,000 for every 30-day period the failure continues more than 90 days after the IRS notice. There is no cap.

On top of that comes the state’s Annual Report or Franchise Tax, which has its own deadline and is charged directly by the state authority. Wyoming charges about $62 a year. Delaware, $400.

That’s where the comparison between Globalfy and doola needs to start. Both form the company. The difference is who files these forms, and for how much.

The most common trigger: the payment gateway froze

Many founders don’t reach this decision through tax planning. They get here because Stripe or PayPal restricted the account tied to their company back home, or because a U.S. marketplace rejected their sign-up without an EIN. It’s one of the most frequent reasons founders sign up in Globalfy’s sales conversations, along with Hotmart and other platforms that withhold tax at source from foreign payees.

If that’s your case, timing matters more than price. A payment gateway won’t wait six weeks for your EIN. Check each provider’s timelines before deciding, because that’s where the gap between the two gets wider than on any subscription line.

Double taxation: the U.S. and your home country

Double taxation is one of the most frequent questions in Globalfy’s sales conversations, and it deserves an answer before the price comparison.

The IRS treats a single-member LLC owned by a non-resident as a disregarded (pass-through) entity. U.S. federal tax falls on the owner, not on the company. If you deliver your services entirely from outside the U.S. and have no U.S.-source income, your profile is non-ECI, and the annual obligation usually comes down to Form 5472 with the pro-forma 1120.

Taxation in your country of residence follows local rules and depends on how you receive the money. There’s no single answer, and this article is informational only: confirm your case with a specialist before setting up the structure.

What differs between the two companies is access to that conversation. Globalfy includes one call a year with a U.S. tax specialist on the Remote and Essential plans, and unlimited calls on Scale, in English, Portuguese or Spanish. At doola, a consultation with a licensed tax professional starts from the $1,999 plan.

Why the sticker price misleads

doola’s Starter plan costs $297/year and includes formation, EIN, registered agent, a U.S. business address, operating agreement and compliance reminders. It’s the lowest entry price among services aimed at international founders.

What it doesn’t include is listed in doola’s own comparison table: IRS tax filings, annual state filings, a licensed tax professional consultation, live call support and expedited EIN processing are all marked as unavailable on Starter. For a non-resident with a single-member LLC, that means the form with the $25,000 penalty is on you.

There are two paths from there, and both are worth knowing:

Path 1 – upgrade your plan. Form 5472 comes with Tax and Compliance, at $1,999/year. That’s a $1,702 jump over Starter, and it comes with bookkeeping and accounting tools many early-stage founders don’t use.

Path 2 – buy the filing separately. Specialized firms charge between $299 and $499 a year to file the 5472 + pro-forma 1120 for a single-member LLC. It’s cheaper than upgrading, but you end up managing two providers and tracking the Annual Report deadline yourself.

Globalfy solves this differently. The Remote plan, at $998/year, already includes the 5472 and pro-forma 1120, the annual state renewal, the compliance calendar, a yearly call with a tax specialist and a named account executive. The 5472 isn’t an add-on.

Total cost in year one and year two

Scenario used in all three tables: a founder living outside the U.S., single-member LLC in Wyoming, services delivered 100% from outside the U.S., no inventory and no customers checking out in the U.S. That’s the non-ECI profile, the most common among consultants, info-product creators and SaaS founders.

Wyoming fees used: $103.75 at registration and about $62 for the Annual Report, paid directly to the state in both cases.

Scenario A: equivalent tax coverage

Here both plans deliver the same thing: formation, registered agent, address, federal filing and state renewal.

	Globalfy Remote	doola Tax and Compliance
Annual subscription	$998	$1,999
Registration fee (Wyoming)	$103.75	$103.75
Year 1 total	$1,101.75	$2,102.75
Year 2 subscription	$998	$1,999
Wyoming Annual Report	~$62	~$62
Year 2 total	~$1,060	~$2,061
Two years combined	~$2,162	~$4,164

Two-year difference: roughly $2,000 in Globalfy’s favor, for equivalent scope.

Scenario B: building the setup piece by piece

The cheapest possible arrangement with doola is Starter plus an outside preparer for the filing. The math is worth doing, but it only means something if both columns list what each option delivers.

	doola Starter + outside 5472	Globalfy Remote
Annual subscription	$297	$998
5472 + 1120 filing	~$399 (third party)	included
Registration fee	$103.75	$103.75
Year 1 total	~$800	$1,101.75
Year 2 total	~$758	~$1,060
Registered agent and address	included	included
Annual Report filing	you do it	Globalfy does it
Compliance calendar with deadline reminders	basic alerts	included
Named account executive	no	included, in English, Portuguese or Spanish
Mercury or Lili account opening	referral	assistance with Mercury, Lili and Revolut, application possible before the EIN
Call with a U.S. tax specialist	no	1 per year
Fynance AI bookkeeping license	no	included, $360 value
Partner credits	not included on Starter	$200k+ (Stripe, OpenAI, Google Ads, Fynance, among others)
Providers to manage	two	one

The nominal difference is around $300 a year. The Fynance license alone is worth $360. In other words, the discount disappears before you count the account executive, the specialist call, the Annual Report filing and the partner credits.

Even so, this path makes sense for a specific profile: founders who already have a trusted accountant, track IRS deadlines without help and prefer to pay less for less service. It just isn’t the cheapest path when you compare like for like.

What partner credits do to the math

Globalfy clients get access to a marketplace with more than $200,000 in credits and discounts. A few real examples from the catalog:

• Stripe – fees waived on the next $20,000 processed, up to $500
• OpenAI – $1,000 in API credits
• Google Ads – $1,000 in credit when you spend $1,500
• Fynance – free annual license, $360 value

Not every founder uses all of them. But if you already charge through Stripe and already pay for the OpenAI API, those two benefits alone can cover a good part of the annual Remote plan. It’s an argument Globalfy’s team knows well, and it’s worth repeating here: combine two or three credits and the net cost of the subscription drops considerably.

Scenario C: more than one member or operations in the U.S.

If you have a partner, inventory in the U.S. or sales with a U.S. checkout, the Remote plan doesn’t apply, and doola’s Starter never did.

	Globalfy Essential	doola Tax and Compliance
Annual subscription	$1,308	$1,999
Filings included	1040NR + Sch. C, 1120, 1065, K-1, 5472	Federal + state
Multi-member add-on	$195 per 1040NR	–
Monthly bookkeeping	not included	included
Annual difference	~$690 cheaper	–

If you really need monthly bookkeeping, compare Tax and Compliance with Globalfy’s Scale plan, from $5,028/year, which includes a dedicated accountant, quarterly estimated taxes and Sales Tax.

Support in your language

Globalfy runs its website and dashboard in English, Portuguese and Spanish, and includes a named account executive in the Remote, Essential and Scale plans. Support is available by chat, email and WhatsApp. The company was founded in Orlando in 2015 and today serves founders in more than 100 countries.

It shows in the reviews, with names and companies attached. Igor Turano, founder of TURALABS LLC, writes that he researched three other providers before opening his LLC and that, for his situation, Globalfy came out best on every point, citing support and price. Alessandro Saikur, of OLIVEIRA ZENITH LLC, highlights continuity: a second agent can pick up a request started with a colleague without him having to explain the case again.

In-person presence counts too, and it’s harder to replicate than a translated website. Globalfy takes part in events where international founders gather, including Web Summit Lisbon, VivaTech Paris, South Summit Madrid, 4YFN Barcelona and Web Summit Rio. Its clients include brands such as EXITLAG, PretoPay, Falkk, Nuvme and Sudati USA.

On legitimacy, which is a fair question when you hire a foreign provider online: Globalfy states openly in its footer that it is a private administrative support company with no affiliation with the U.S. government or any official agency. Its founders, Diego Sampaio and Eva Palatinsky, have public profiles. The company has operated from Orlando since 2015.

doola runs its product, help center and most of its content in English. It has a Spanish landing page but no Portuguese version, and on Starter support is by email only, with live call scheduling from Tax and Compliance upward. Positive reviews mention agents by name and short response times, which points to an accessible team.

If you’re fully comfortable handling the IRS, banks and tax deadlines in English, the language point weighs little and the real difference is having a named account executive. If English is your second language, it can weigh more than any price difference.

Accounting after formation

Here the two companies take different approaches to packaging.

Globalfy. The federal filing is part of the plan from Remote upward. The compliance calendar flags deadlines, Globalfy files the state renewal and you get one call a year with a U.S. tax specialist (unlimited on Scale). Monthly bookkeeping and Sales Tax aren’t included in Remote or Essential; they’re on Scale.

doola. Starter includes no tax filings. On Tax and Compliance, the federal return is prepared by doola’s in-house CPA team and comes with doola’s own bookkeeping software, which doesn’t integrate with QuickBooks, Xero or Sage.

The recent complaint history is worth knowing, because it’s public and deals with exactly this point. In July 2026, a Brazilian customer left a one-star Trustpilot review saying he bought the $1,999 plan after confirming in writing that it would cover prior-year tax filings, and later found out prior years are billed separately. doola replied publicly in August, saying it had reviewed the case and issued a full refund. A second review from the same period describes six weeks stuck on EIN processing.

Overall, doola sits at 4.6/5 from 2,059 reviews, with 86% five-star and 7% one-star. Globalfy sits at 4.9/5 from more than 700 reviews. doola has roughly three times the review volume, which counts in its favor; Globalfy has the higher average rating.

Globalfy: full review

Overview

Globalfy is a complete platform for forming and operating a U.S. LLC or C-Corporation, created in 2015 specifically for non-resident founders. It brings company formation, EIN, business address, registered agent, compliance calendar and federal filings together in a single dashboard, depending on the plan, with human support in English, Portuguese and Spanish. It has supported more than 10,000 founders in more than 100 countries, with Brazil as its largest market.

Best for

• Founders who’ve tried to handle everything on their own in a second language and given up halfway.
• Founders who want a named account executive, not a ticket queue.
• Businesses that know they’ll need compliance year after year, not just at launch.
• Founders moving an LLC they formed on their own or through a formation-only competitor.

Key features

• State registration in Wyoming, Delaware, Florida, Texas, Nevada, or New Mexico.
• Compliance calendar with automatic reminders for the Annual Report, Franchise Tax, and federal deadlines.
• Banking assistance with Mercury, Lili and Revolut, including applications before the EIN is issued.
• Free Fynance license (AI bookkeeping, $360 value) included in the plans.

Why we stand out

Globalfy was built not to “form fast and walk away”, but to stay with the founder through the following years, when federal and state obligations show up. The case of Douglas Negrisolli of L8Cup, a client for ten consecutive years, is the most concrete example: retention, not just formation, is what sustains its 4.9/5 rating from more than 700 Trustpilot reviews.

Covering “only” six states often looks like a limitation next to competitors that serve all 50, until you notice that nearly half of Globalfy’s clients (~40%) choose Wyoming, and the rest are spread across Delaware, Florida, Texas, Nevada and New Mexico. Those six states cover the vast majority of real non-resident founder cases; the other 44 states come up almost only in very specific scenarios.

Pros

• Human support in English, Portuguese or Spanish with a named account executive, not a chatbot.
• Compliance calendar, registered agent and federal filings included in all plans except Starter, which covers company formation and address services only.
• More than $200k in partner credits: just adding up the Stripe discount (up to $500), the OpenAI credit ($1,000), the Google Ads credit ($1,000 when you spend $1,500) and the free Fynance license ($360) already covers a good part of the annual Remote subscription.
• Over 11 years of experience and a strong event presence across Latin America and Europe.

Cons

• Covers six states (Wyoming, Delaware, Florida, Texas, Nevada, New Mexico): founders who need a state outside that list won’t find support here.
• The Remote plan has clear exclusions: it doesn’t cover LLCs with multiple members, physical presence in the U.S., B2B/e-commerce sales to American customers, or U.S.-source investment income.
• It isn’t the cheapest option for formation alone; the argument is the total cost of keeping the company compliant, not the entry price.

Pricing

Annual plans by business profile: Starter ($588, company formation and address services), Remote ($998, 100% remote solo founder), Essential ($1,308, multiple members or U.S. presence), and Scale (from $5,028, with dedicated monthly bookkeeping). State formation and renewal fees are extra and vary by state.

Final verdict

For a non-resident comparing against doola, Globalfy solves the problem that shows up most after formation: staying current with the IRS and the state, in your language, without having to hire three more providers along the way.

doola: full review

Overview

doola forms LLCs, C-Corps and DAO LLCs in the U.S. for founders from any country. Founded in 2020 in New York and backed by Y Combinator, it bet on a self-serve product and a low entry price. Starter bundles formation, EIN, registered agent, address and operating agreement into a single annual subscription, and the higher plans add layers of compliance, bookkeeping and taxes.

Its core audience is the founder without an SSN who needs a U.S. company and bank account to get paid through Stripe or marketplaces.

Best for

• Founders who prioritize the lowest possible formation cost
• Founders who need a state outside the six Globalfy serves
• Founders comfortable handling the IRS and banks in English
• Founders who already have a trusted accountant for the tax side
• Businesses that want bookkeeping and accounting under the same contract (higher plans)

Key features

• Formation in any of the 50 states
• EIN without an SSN, with expedited processing on the higher plans
• Registered agent and business address included from the entry plan
• Banking referral to Mercury and partners
• In-house CPA team for Form 5472, BOI and federal returns on the $1,999 and $2,999 plans
• Own bookkeeping software with transaction tracking, invoicing and reports

Why they stand out

doola is one of the strongest options on the market when the criteria are entry price and geographic reach. $297/year covering a registered agent and address is competitive, and 50-state coverage solves cases that non-resident specialists often turn down. The interface and onboarding come up often in positive reviews, and 2,059 Trustpilot reviews give statistical weight to its 4.6 average.

Pros

• Lowest entry price in the category, at $297/year
• Formation in all 50 states, with no restriction on choice
• Large review base, with 86% five-star
• Bookkeeping and federal filing under one contract on the higher plans
• Self-serve onboarding praised for clarity

Cons

• Form 5472, mandatory for a foreign-owned single-member LLC, only comes with the $1,999 plan. On Starter, the obligation carrying a $25,000 penalty stays with the client.
• Expedited EIN, annual state filings and live call support aren’t in Starter either, according to doola’s own comparison table.
• Help center and support mainly in English; no Portuguese version.
• The bookkeeping on the higher plans doesn’t integrate with QuickBooks, Xero or Sage.
• Recent public complaints involve the scope of the tax plan, EIN timelines and billing. doola responds publicly and, in the Brazilian customer’s case from July 2026, resolved it with a full refund.

Pricing

Three formation plans, billed annually: Starter ($297), Tax and Compliance ($1,999) and Business-in-a-Box™ ($2,999/year, or $329/month on monthly billing), plus Pulse, a standalone $300/year bookkeeping plan. State fees are extra. Formation itself carries no extra charge beyond the state fee on any plan. In September 2026 doola was also showing promotional prices (for example, Tax and Compliance at $1,599); this comparison uses list prices.

Final verdict

doola is the recommendation for founders who want the lowest upfront outlay, need a specific state or already have the tax side handled by their own accountant. The limitations show up in the opposite profile: if you need the federal filing and state renewal included, and want a named person handling it, the doola route costs more and involves more pieces. For most non-residents with a single-member LLC, that’s the most likely scenario.

How to choose between Globalfy and doola

1. Start with the filing, not the formation

Ask directly: are Form 5472 and the pro-forma 1120 included in the plan I’m being quoted? If the answer is no, add the preparer’s cost before comparing. It’s the difference that distorts comparisons most in this category.

2. Do the year-two math

Both companies charge a recurring subscription. Year one has the registration fee, year two has the Annual Report. Run both years and compare the totals, not the entry prices.

3. Ask what the state costs per year, not how many states are available

Being able to choose among 50 states sounds good until you look at maintenance costs. California charges an $800 minimum franchise tax every year, regardless of revenue, which is why almost no non-resident registers there. New York requires newspaper publication, which adds $1,000 to $2,000 in the first year alone.

The useful question is which state has the lowest recurring cost for your profile:

• Wyoming – $103.75 to register, about $62 to renew, no state income tax and strong privacy. Chosen by about 40% of Globalfy clients.
• New Mexico – $50 to register, and LLCs don’t file an Annual Report or pay franchise tax. The lowest long-term cost.
• Delaware – the standard for founders raising investment, with a $400 annual renewal.
• Florida – $125, attracts founders who want a presence in the largest Latin hub in the U.S., with managers’ details on the public record.

The six states Globalfy offers cover the vast majority of real non-resident founder cases. If your case requires a state outside that list, doola covers it. Before deciding on that basis, check the best state to form an LLC and make sure the state you have in mind won’t cost more every year.

4. Test the support before you pay

Send a specific question about your case and watch the response time, the language and the level of detail. A generic answer during the sale tends to become a generic answer when you have an IRS deadline in front of you.

5. Check the eligibility of the cheapest plan

Both companies’ entry plans have restrictions. Globalfy’s Remote doesn’t accept more than one member, e-commerce with U.S. sales or physical operations in the country. doola’s Starter covers no tax filings at all.

The difference is who does the checking. At Globalfy, a specialist reviews your business model and recommends a state and plan before you buy, and upgrades happen at any time with prorated billing. The pricing page splits recommendations by profile: SaaS, startup, e-commerce, info products, consulting and investor. In a self-serve flow, that check is on you. Finding out halfway through that you bought the wrong plan costs money and time with either provider.

Open your LLC with Globalfy

The real risk of a U.S. LLC isn’t overpaying at formation. It’s reaching April without knowing a form with a $25,000 penalty was waiting for you. Globalfy files that form, files the state renewal and warns you about deadlines before they arrive, with an account executive who answers on WhatsApp in English, Portuguese or Spanish.

More than 11 years of experience, more than 10,000 founders in more than 100 countries, a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating and clients on their tenth renewal. A specialist reviews your business model and recommends a state and plan before you pay anything.

For equivalent scope, that costs $998/year instead of $1,999.

Frequently asked questions

Globalfy vs doola: which is better for non-resident founders?

Globalfy is the better fit for most non-resident founders, mainly because of total cost and support. The Remote plan, at $998/year, includes Form 5472 and the annual state renewal, coverage doola only offers on its $1,999/year Tax and Compliance plan, a difference of about $1,000 a year. Globalfy also provides a named account executive in English, Portuguese or Spanish, while doola’s support runs mainly in English. doola has two concrete advantages: a $297/year entry price and formation in all 50 states, versus six with Globalfy. If you need a state outside that list, doola covers it and Globalfy doesn’t.

How much does it cost to open an LLC with Globalfy and with doola in the first year?

A single-member LLC in Wyoming costs $1,101.75 in the first year with Globalfy’s Remote plan, adding the $998 subscription and the $103.75 state fee, with the federal filing already included. With doola, the same scope costs $2,102.75 on the Tax and Compliance plan. doola’s Starter plan comes to $400.75, but includes no tax filing at all. Adding an outside 5472 preparer at about $399, the doola route comes to around $800. State fees range from $50 in New Mexico to $309 in Texas.

Does doola offer support in languages other than English?

doola operates mainly in English: its help center and most of its content are in English, and on the Starter plan support is by email only. It has a Spanish landing page but no Portuguese version. Globalfy runs its site and dashboard in English, Portuguese and Spanish and includes a named account executive in the Remote, Essential and Scale plans, reachable on WhatsApp as well. If you’ll be handling IRS deadlines and bank approvals in a second language, this point often matters more than it seems at the time of purchase.

Who handles the accounting after the LLC is formed?

After the LLC is formed, who handles the accounting depends on the plan. At Globalfy, the federal filing is included from Remote (Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120), and Essential expands it to 1040NR + Sch. C, 1120, 1065 and K-1; monthly bookkeeping is on Scale, from $5,028/year. At doola, the $297 Starter covers no tax filings, and the return comes with Tax and Compliance at $1,999/year, together with doola’s own bookkeeping. If you already have an accountant, it can make sense to pay less for formation and keep the tax side separate.

How does moving from doola to Globalfy work?

Moving from doola to Globalfy doesn’t require forming a new company. Globalfy takes over the existing LLC and handles the state amendment, the registered agent change and the address update with the state and the IRS, with migration plans from $998/year on Remote. You keep the company’s EIN, name and formation date. The sales team confirms what has already been filed and what is pending before starting. Details on the switch company page.

Do I have to pay tax in both the U.S. and my home country with an LLC?

A single-member LLC owned by a non-resident is treated as a disregarded (pass-through) entity by the IRS, which means U.S. federal tax falls on the owner, not the company. If the work is performed entirely outside the U.S. and there is no U.S.-source income, the profile is non-ECI, and the annual obligation usually comes down to Form 5472 with the pro-forma 1120. Taxation in your country of residence follows local rules and depends on how you receive the money. This is general information and does not replace professional advice: confirm your case with a tax specialist before deciding on the structure. Globalfy includes a yearly call with a U.S. tax specialist on the Remote and Essential plans.

How many days do the state registration and the EIN take?

Globalfy files the state registration, and Wyoming completes it in 1 to 7 days; the EIN comes through about 2 to 3 days after filing. Florida is slower, with 25 to 30 days of state processing. At doola, expedited EIN processing is only available on the $1,999 and $2,999 plans, and public reviews from Starter customers report waits of 15 to 25 days, with cases of six weeks. Neither requires a U.S. visa: a passport is enough. See the step-by-step guide in how to open an LLC in the U.S..
