Have you tried Clerky?

As some practical unsolicited advice, most prominent law firms in the bay area charge $2500k - $5k for full incorporation service and you can negotiate to defer typically $10k - $25k in fees until you do a first fundraise or have enough cash flow to start paying your bills. These firms are expensive, but paying a few thousand to make sure things are done right will go a long away as the cost of fixing this stuff later can exceed $10k. If you have a simple or low touch business, then maybe some of these automated services will work well for you. Otherwise, if you are considering raising venture money at some point, I'd suggest going with a traditional law firm or use these services as a starting point and have a lawyer give everything they are doing a quick scan to make sure they are doing things right.

Full disclaimer: I am a startup lawyer myself so there is some bias. I don’t have experience with stripe atlas or clerky, so I would be curious to hear how your experience with stripe atlas turns out
