Bootstrapped
Founder-led since 2007. Upstate NY.
Best NY network density. International forwarding tied to specific designated locations — verify before picking address. Per-scan fees add up vs. competitors that bundle scanning. Strongest long-term stability of the group.

Bootstrapped
Founder-led since 2013. No outside investors.
Strongest for international — all locations forward globally, real-time carrier pricing, consolidation built in. Storage flexibility genuinely useful for mobile life. Explicitly advises against using address for LLC registration/banking — check state rules. Best all-around for globally mobile use.

Bootstrapped
Founder-led since 2012. Anaheim, CA.
Limited international coverage (~20 countries) knocks it back for global mobility. 7-day package storage window is a liability if you're not stateside. Strong check deposit and local pickup. Least visible company of the three bootstrapped options.

YC-backed
$150K seed, 2020. 30 employees. Most acquisition-prone.
Best multi-entity support — add MICOLI as a named recipient under one account. Address confirmed IRS/bank/state compliant. No pickup ever. International works worldwide but pricing is opaque — their rates, not a live comparison. Continuity risk is real.

$20/check deposit is the worst of the group. Package forwarding internationally is size-capped. Mail is a feature to LegalZoom, not a business. You already know what this product feels like in practice.
