State Tax for Foreign LLCsAnswered

I already formed in Delaware through Atlas. Is it worth moving the LLC to Wyoming now?

I am in Brazil and used Stripe Atlas to form a Delaware LLC for a SaaS company. We are not raising VC money anymore and the business is still small, so I keep seeing people say Wyoming would have been cheaper and simpler.

I am now tempted to move the entity just to reduce future friction, but I do not know if that is real savings or just online chatter. The company has one owner, no employees, and about $60,000 in annual recurring revenue.
