Eqvista pairs a cap table platform with an in-house 409A valuation practice, and its pricing page shows exactly what each costs. The Freemium plan is free under 20 stakeholders and covers cap table and ESOP management, vesting schedules, stakeholder accounts and a data room. Premium costs $2 per stakeholder per month and adds e-signed certificates and SAFE agreements, board resolutions and voting, Rule 701, Form 3921, waterfall exit modeling and funding round modeling. The 409A bundle starts at $990 per year for pre-revenue companies and rises by stage to $2,590 for Series A, with unlimited 409A updates and Premium included. Add-ons such as QSBS attestation from $1,000 and ASC 718 from $500 are also listed. Eqvista says more than 25,000 companies use it. The trade-offs are custom pricing beyond 50 stakeholders and a busier product than the newest tools here, so it rewards founders who care more about price than polish.
