GrantExtension vs. FileLater
FileLater leans on trust signals (a long track record, BBB accreditation, real-time status tracking) and business-form coverage. Its weak spot is unpublished pricing — you don't see the fee until checkout (about $29.95 personal and $34.95 business), and it doesn't file nonprofit 8868 at all. We're simpler: one flat price up front — Form 7004 / 8868 at $9.95 each.
Price per form
| Form | GrantExtension | FileLater |
|---|---|---|
| Form 4868 (personal) | Not offered this season | Not published (~$29.95 reported) |
| Form 7004 (business) | $9.95 | Not published (~$34.95 reported) |
| Form 8868 (nonprofit) | $9.95 | Not offered |
FileLater does not publish its prices — the fee appears at checkout; its app's default prices and third-party listings put it at about $29.95 personal and $34.95 business (checked October 2026). It does not offer Form 8868, and its license terms rule out a refund once a return is transmitted.
