I ordered a readymade Panama company and a normal UK Limited company. The price was about 3000 euro.

I used CFS Formations to create a Seychelles IBC. The whole process took about a month (as in, one month total time from payment to receiving physical incorporation documents in my hands). I ordered to get the Seychelles Offshore Apostilled Incorporation Documents via courier shipping. The total cost was ~$842. After submitting the order they sent me an email within a couple hours with documents to sign and asking me to provide a certified copy of my passport and proof of address. I used an online notary to certify my passport and a bank statement (cost $50). Sent it to them within an hour and︀ then they confirmed and said they'd process the application. There was a bit of back︁ and forth email clarifying business activity and then I was asked to sign some more︂ documents declaring business activities.
About a week later they sent me digital copies of incorporation︃ documents and asked me to sign them. It was at this point I started my︄ TransferWise application. I noticed a few problems with the documents they sent me. They got︅ my nationality wrong, and there was a missing signature in one of the documents. I︆ was told that this was Seychelles' error and that they would fix them. The next︇ day they sent me back amended documents that listed my nationality correctly. I then signed︈ the documents and sent them back. They then realized they missed another document, so they︉ sent that to me and asked for it to be signed.
After all the documents︊ were signed they also asked me to send the original certified documents. I explained that︋ this was not possible because the documents were digitally certified. After a little back and︌ forth (and a bit of frustration) they accepted the digital documents they already had. They︍ then sent me the apositilled incorporation documents by courier.
A couple days later I received︎ the package. The final apostilled documents still has a missing signature, so that error was️ not fixed. Apart from that everything is in order. I haven't used the apostilled documents yet and I'm not sure I will need to since I don't plan on opening a bank account. I was able to open up a TransferWise account within a week using digital (non-apostilled) copies of the documents.
For a total cost of $920 ($842 to CFS Formations to create the company, $50 to an online notary and $28 to TransferWise to open an account), overall I think the outcome was pretty good. It meets my needs at this point. Took longer than the 24 hours they claimed it would take︀ but didn't take much longer than I was expecting (I knew it wouldn't be completed︁ within 24 hours).
Given that I only need to use TransferWise at this point I︂ could've saved costs by not getting the apostilled documents, but I have them in case︃ I need to use them in the future.
I didn't really have any major issues︄ with CFS Formations and would recommend them overall. They got the job done. Emails were︅ responded to fairly quickly.

Thanks for your very detailed review of this provider. I wonder why it will take any agent in the Seychelles 1 (one) month to register a IBC in the Seychelles. Usually it takes max 2 days and in the past you could do it within an hour.
Any good explanation why it took them a whole month?

It took under 2 weeks from the time I applied for the Seychelles IBC and when my TransferWise account was active. It took less than a week from the time the company was registered to when the TransferWise account was active.
TransferWise asked for name, DOB, residence, description of business activities, how the account will be used, the amount of transactions, certificate of incorporation, company address registration, share certificate, list of all directors, etc.︀ Additionally they asked how the account would connect to all my other TransferWise accounts (I︁ have several TransferWise accounts because TransferWise has a policy that you can only have one︂ business registered per account). They asked for complete company structures.
I provided them the documents︃ I received from CFS Formations along with a copy of my passport and a utility︄ bill. After paying the £21 fee to TransferWise and answering all their questions, my account︅ became active. They did not require apostilled documents which is why I was able to︆ open the account with TransferWise before everything else was finalized.

You are going off topic, still doing things right you can stay under the radar.
