Skye's chip is by Avid. I pay no annual fees and no fees for updates.
Last year I realized I had not revised my cell number and gave them a call. They asked some security questions to be sure I was really her owner. They will not update on line for that reason. Anyone that has the chip # (which I have on a tag Skye wears) could make an update otherwise and it might not be legitimate.
They not only updated the phone #, but went through a series of questions for her records. Most importantly, they asked about any new or regular medications - important since she has to take meds for her eyes.
They also added her eye vet contact to her records.
I got Skye's chip during a pet expo - the local shelter was doing them at half price.
I also have my vet scan her every year to be sure it can be read.
Edited to add: After the call they asked my preference of email or postal mail to send the update. I asked for both just to be safe. No fee for that and I can keep her information handy on my computer and in her folder.

Ivy's microchip is by AVID.
Mason's microchip is by HomeAgain. I can update his info, add pics, etc. right online, which is nice.

Rosa has 24PetWatch and Niko has HomeAgain. God willing we'll never need to use them.
