Detailed 1-to-1 analysis with each platform. No fine print, no spin. Just data.

- Cheap entry vs transparent real cost

- Hidden add-ons vs transparent pricing
- Payoneer vs real Mercury/Wise
- English-only chat vs Spanish + WhatsApp
Aiden vs Clerky
Legal niche for VC-backed C-Corps. From $427 (or $819 lifetime, one-time). Do you need it?
- C-Corp only vs LLC + C-Corp
- $819 lifetime fee vs monthly
- Docs only vs day-to-day management
Aiden vs 1st Formations
High-volume UK formation agent: LTD incorporation from £102.99 (fee included). No Spanish-speaking advisor; compliance and accounting as extras.
- Formation only vs full compliance
- Form vs human advisor + app
- UK only vs UK + Delaware
When Aiden isn't your best option.
We don't want you to make the wrong choice. If any of these cases applies to you, another platform is probably a better fit:
-
You only need to form an LTD, not ongoing services. 1st Formations from £102.99 (Companies House fee included) may work out cheaper if you then handle compliance, accounting and tax on your own.
-
You're a US tax resident with a US SSN. Aiden is built for founders based outside the US and UK. If you live in the US, a direct incorporation with Northwest or ZenBusiness is usually a better fit.
-
You need to incorporate in Wyoming, Nevada, or Texas. We only offer Delaware for the US. Firstbase and Doola cover more states if you prefer other US jurisdictions.
-
You want to handle the tax and accounting side yourself. If you already have your own tax advisor and just need the setup, bare-bones services like Atlas can be cheaper in the first few years.

In the words of our founders
What follows are not client testimonials: they are hypothetical examples of situations we commonly handle, using the real terms of the offer.
Coming from Stripe Atlas
Hypothetical example
A founder forms their LLC with Atlas and finds that annual compliance is on them. With Aiden, management, the dashboard and the Spanish-speaking advisor are part of the subscription; official fees are paid separately.
Operating fast in the UK
Hypothetical example
Companies House incorporation and Wise Business account managed end to end: the whole process is completed online, with no travel.
100%
process completed online
Documents up to date with Books
Hypothetical example
Invoices and documents are uploaded and organised in Aiden Books through the year, and at year end everything is easy to find to prepare the accounts.
Migrating an existing LLC
Hypothetical example
An LLC formed with another provider moves to Aiden: paperwork is brought up to date and state maintenance resumes from the dashboard.
Validating without a Spanish SL
Hypothetical example
To validate a project without the fixed costs of starting a Spanish SL with an accountant, a UK Limited with Aiden runs from €19.99/month plus official fees.
Questions for the advisor
Hypothetical example
Legal and tax questions are handled by the advisor over WhatsApp; on the PRO plan, with a response SLA under 2 business hours.
<2h
WhatsApp SLA · PRO plan
Getting paid with Aiden Pay
Hypothetical example
Client payments run on Stripe from the dashboard: Aiden adds no fee of its own — you only pay the payment provider's fee.
0%
fee added by Aiden
Incorporating from Latin America
Hypothetical example
From Argentina or Mexico, incorporation in the UK or Delaware is 100% remote, with no travel or physical presence, guided from the dashboard.
Hypothetical examples: these are not testimonials or reviews from real clients. The terms quoted (timelines, SLAs, prices) are those of the current published offer.
