Unlimited free cap table software: what founders should verify

What "unlimited free" should mean

Ask vendors whether free tiers cap the number of stakeholders, option grants, funding rounds, or exports. Some products are free for a narrow demo company but bill once you add real investors or employees. True unlimited free should let you run the full product at any scale you need today.

Self-serve vs services-heavy onboarding

If you cannot complete setup without sales calls or manual imports by the vendor, you are buying a service relationship—not just software. For day-to-day cap table work, look for flows where you can create the table, add classes and rounds, and invite finance or counsel yourself.

409A valuation-ready records (we do not perform appraisals)

CapTableFree does not provide 409A valuations. When you grant options, you still work with a qualified appraiser for fair market value. We help you keep issued equity, exercise prices, and vesting organized and export-ready so valuation providers and counsel can move faster with fewer back-and-forth spreadsheets.

How this compares to common paid platforms

Many equity suites bundle cap tables with fundraising tools, banking, or valuations. That can be a fit for some teams. If you only need a clean, unlimited source of truth for ownership—and you want $0—you can compare our positioning to platforms like Carta, Pulley, Qapita, Eqvista, Capboard, Cake Equity, and Beagle Networks on your own terms.

CapTableFree is free cap table management for founders who want professional records without usage limits.
