How we compiled this
Pricing re-verified via WebFetch on each vendor's official pricing page (pulley.com/pricing, ledgy.com/company-pricing, cakeequity.com/pricing, eqvista.com/pricing/, vestd.com/pricing/, capboard.io/en/capboard-new-pricing-dec-2024) on 2026-06-15. Carta's official pricing page (carta.com/plans/equity-management/ and carta.com/equity-management/launch/) and security page both returned HTTP 403; Carta plan structure and free-tier limits corroborated via web search and justpricing.com. Carta's paid plans (Build/Grow/Scale) are per-stakeholder with a minimum annual fee but Carta publishes NO official numbers; third-party estimates conflict ($2,800/yr vs $5,988/yr for Build), so monthlyUsd is left null for all paid Carta plans (a null beats a guess). AngelList Equity excluded (standalone cap table gated to Roll Up Vehicle customers as of mid-2026). Vestd prices are GBP-only; USD equivalents not officially published and therefore omitted. Compliance claims reflect only what each vendor explicitly states on its own security/trust page: Pulley (SOC 2 Type II + GDPR confirmed at pulley.com/security), Ledgy (SOC 1/SOC 2 Type 2 + ISO 27001 at trust.ledgy.com; GDPR claimed via ledgy.com/legal/gdpr), Cake Equity (ISO 27001:2022 only; no SOC 2/GDPR), Eqvista (no own SOC 2 — relies on AWS infrastructure SOC 2; soc2 set null), Carta (SOC 1/SOC 2/ISO 27001 per audit reports). accessedAt 2026-06-15.
