Free: up to 5 stakeholders — genuinely free, not a trial. Build: $1,000/year for up to 25 stakeholders. Team: $2,750/year for up to 40 stakeholders, with a 409A valuation included.
Cake Equity is the strongest budget-tier cap table platform for US startups moving from a first SAFE through a Series A. The free tier for up to 5 stakeholders is genuinely usable, not a trial, and the $2,750/year Team plan bundling a 409A valuation undercuts most of the category on total cost. G2's top rating in the category (4.8/5, #1 in Implementation and Relationship) backs up what the pricing suggests — this is a platform startups are getting real, fast support from. The trade-off is brand recognition: Carta and Pulley are more familiar names to US institutional investors and law firms, so it's worth a quick check with your lead before you commit if you're heading into a priced round. For founders optimizing for cost and hands-on support pre-Series A, Cake is a strong pick.
