Best Cap Table Software
Carta is the best cap table software for most startups: free up to 25 stakeholders and $1M raised, and it scales to 409As and ASC 718. Pick Cake Equity if you want published prices.

Carta alternatives
Pick Cake Equity if you are a US startup leaving Carta over price: published plans, free migration and two 409As a year on Team. Pick Ledgy if you are in the UK or Europe. Stay on Carta if you want one vendor for everything up to IPO.
