Pulley's own FAQ, dated September 15, 2026, says it ceases operations on December 8 and that it has entered an exclusive partnership with Carta. It will not assist migrations to anyone else. Three dates decide this: November 30 to opt in to the arranged Carta offer, December 8 when the app and support end, and January 31, 2027 when limited data access is expected to end. Below are nine platforms with published pricing, what each is offering Pulley customers specifically, and the export checklist to run while the app still works.
See the comparison Export checklistPrices checked September 27, 2026 on each vendor's own pricing page, not from a roundup or a sales call. Where a vendor is running an offer aimed specifically at Pulley customers, it is in the last column with the number or promise they are actually making.
| Platform | Best for | Published price | Pulley migration offer | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eqvista Free tier US equity platform with cap table, 409A and valuations in one place. Publishes per-stakeholder pricing instead of quotes. | Cost-sensitive US startups that want 409A bundled rather than billed separately | Freemium cap table $0. Premium cap table $2 per stakeholder per month. 409A plus premium cap table bundle from $990 per year. | 30% off your current Pulley plan with a year-two price lock, free white-glove migration quoted at 1-5 business days, first year of cap table management free and a $500 credit toward the first 409A. | Eqvista for Pulley |
| Cake Equity Free tier Founder-focused platform with a permanently free plan, self-serve signup and a human-run migration. | Pre-seed to Series A teams that want to start without waiting for a sales demo | Free plan $0 with 5 stakeholders included, always free. Build tier $1,000 per year. Higher tiers add per-stakeholder pricing. 409A valuations are a $1,500 add-on to any plan. | 20% discount for Pulley migrators, free 48-hour migration, a 1:1 call with their migration team on every plan, and a switch credit. A human reviews your upload before you pay. | Cake for Pulley |
| Carta Pulley's exclusive migration partner and the largest platform in the category. Everything above the free tier is quote-only. | Companies that want the arranged path, investor and law-firm workflows, and 409A under one vendor | Launch plan free for up to 25 stakeholders and $1M raised. Build, Grow and Scale tiers are contact-sales only — no published dollar figure. | The arranged path from Pulley's own opt-in: assisted migration of cap table data, documents and history, your current Pulley pricing honoured for the first year, and a credit for unused prepaid time (reported by Business Insider on September 16). | Carta pricing |
| Astrella Flat annual tiers instead of per-stakeholder billing, with full-service onboarding. | US companies that would rather pay one flat yearly number than track stakeholder counts | Early Stage (0-25 stakeholders) $1,200 per year. Emerging (26-100) $3,200 per year. Accelerate (101-300) $8,200 per year. Above 300 is custom. 409A, 83(b) and HRIS are add-ons. | No Pulley-specific offer published. Migration is mechanical rather than marketed, and onboarding is handled by a dedicated implementation manager. | Astrella pricing |
| Qapita Free tier Cap table plus equity plan management, strongest where the cap table crosses borders. | US / India / Singapore cap tables that also want ESOP administration on one platform | Spark free for up to 25 stakeholders and under $1M raised. Surge $1,600 per year for 40 stakeholders, then $40 per extra stakeholder per year. Growth $3,000 per year for 50 stakeholders, then $60 per extra. Analyst support $125 per hour is an add-on. | Free migration, plus a review of your current Pulley invoice against their pricing to show where you would save. | Qapita for Pulley |
| Ledgy Free tier European equity management, strong on multi-entity structures and IFRS 2 alongside ASC 718. | EU or multi-entity companies, including US groups with European subsidiaries | Launch plan free with a maximum of 50 stakeholders — the highest free allowance in this list. Scale plan starts at €5,000 per year for multi-entity work and integrations. | A free, fully validated migration: a dedicated specialist reviews every grant, agreement and historical transaction with you before go-live rather than running an automated import. 409A and LLC valuations through a partner network advertised at pricing matched to what you already pay. | Ledgy for Pulley |
| Capboard Per-stakeholder pricing with every feature included, plus fundraising modelling and a data room. | Small, cost-conscious teams that want the cheapest paid entry point | From SGD 32.88 per month including 15 stakeholders, plus SGD 2.19 per month per additional stakeholder, billed annually and displayed in local currency. Scale-up tier for 75+ stakeholders is a custom flat annual fee. Add-ons: premium support $50 per month, basic onboarding $300 one-time, 409A through partners from $1,800. | No Pulley-specific discount published, though their switcher page targets the same audience. | Capboard pricing |
| J.P. Morgan Workplace Solutions Free tier Bank-backed equity administration, the other vendor named when AngelList wound down its own cap table product. | Companies that want a bank-backed vendor and a generous free stakeholder allowance | Free plan for companies with 40 stakeholders or fewer, documented in AngelList's cap table migration FAQ. Pricing above that tier is quote-based; their site shows a monthly figure above 100 stakeholders but does not publish it as a list price, so we are not repeating it as fact. | Eligible customers using both Workplace Solutions and J.P. Morgan Startup Banking get free cap table management for up to 100 stakeholders for three years (AngelList migration FAQ). | J.P. Morgan cap table |
| Vestd UK only FCA-regulated UK platform handling EMI, CSOP, growth shares and HMRC filings in-platform. | UK-incorporated companies with EIS/SEIS or EMI-shaped cap tables | Essentials from £25 per month for core cap table and Companies House filings. Starter from £220 per month. Guided service plan from £420 per month. Enterprise is custom for 200+ stakeholders. A US 409A is only available as an add-on. | Dedicated Pulley switching page offering to match the terms you have been offered elsewhere, a free cap table health check and no migration fee. | Vestd for Pulley |

Four sources, four characterisations of the same shutdown. This is not trivia — it tells you which dates to plan against and how much of each vendor's page is marketing.
Pulley's FAQ, dated September 15, 2026, says it ceases operations on December 8, 2026, has entered an exclusive partnership with Carta for migration, and will not assist migrations elsewhere. Data access is expected to run to January 31, 2027. These are the dates your records depend on.
Ledgy's campaign page frames the event as an acquisition and urges companies to move "on their own terms, not theirs". It is the only vendor in this list marketing a free, specialist-validated migration rather than a discount.
Cake published a note from its CEO on September 16 and positions itself as the alternative for founders who chose Pulley over Carta in the first place: 20% off for Pulley migrators, a free 48-hour migration and a human review before you pay.
Reporting on the wind-down put a number on the arranged path: Pulley customers who opt in keep their current pricing for the first year and get the unused portion of their Pulley subscription credited. That is the concrete thing the November 30 deadline buys you.
Real options that finance teams evaluate, listed with their pricing model instead of an invented number.
| Platform | Best for | Pricing model | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SeedLegals Legal documents plus a cap table in one subscription rather than a pure equity platform. | Pre-seed companies that mainly need contracts, SAFEs and a simple register | US pricing: $99 per month or $999 per year for contracts, SAFEs and a cap table with unlimited stockholders; Plus $2,499 per year adds advice from a partner law firm. No 409A valuations and no deep ISO or ASC 718 administration, so it fits only the earliest stage. | SeedLegals pricing |
| Shareworks by Morgan Stanley Enterprise equity administration for complex global plans. | Late-stage, pre-IPO and public companies with mobility and multi-country tax reporting | No published list price anywhere on Morgan Stanley at Work's site, so every deal starts with sales and a long implementation. Heavy for a seed-stage company leaving Pulley. | Shareworks |
| AngelList Stack cap table (legacy) Listed so you can cross it off: AngelList itself stopped developing this and points customers elsewhere. | Only companies already inside AngelList Roll Up or Consolidation Vehicles | No public pricing, and the standalone legacy cap table is no longer sold to new customers. AngelList's own migration FAQ directs customers to other providers, including J.P. Morgan Workplace Solutions and Pulley itself before its shutdown — so it is not a destination for you. | AngelList FAQ |
| Your accountants and counsel Not software, but part of the decision: firms are publishing Pulley migration guidance for their own clients right now. | Companies whose 409A, audit or board reporting is already handled by an outside firm | Whatever your engagement letter says. The reason to ask them is valuation support: if you leave the Carta path, someone has to stand behind your prior 409A work after January 31, 2027. | Example firm guidance |
If a vendor publishes list pricing later, check their page. We only report figures we can link to.
Pulley's FAQ and the vendor guidance published since September 16 agree on these. The November 30 date is the one teams miss, because it is not the deadline to export — it is the deadline for the arranged terms.
If you take the Carta path, the transfer is arranged for you. If you take any other path, you export and rebuild it yourself — so run this list regardless, because it is also your backup if the arranged migration hits a snag.
Pulley published a shutdown FAQ dated September 15, 2026 stating that it ceases operations on December 8, 2026, when the app becomes inaccessible and support ends. Limited access to your Pulley data is expected to last until January 31, 2027. Plan against Pulley's own dates: some vendors describe this event as an acquisition, Pulley describes it as an exclusive partnership, and the dates on Pulley's FAQ are the ones your data actually depends on.
It is the cutoff to opt in to Pulley's arranged migration offer with Carta, which includes honouring your current Pulley pricing for the first year and crediting any unused portion of your Pulley subscription. It is not the deadline to export your own data, but it is the last day the arranged terms are on the table.
As of September 27, 2026 the most aggressive published offer is Eqvista's: 30% off your current Pulley plan, a year-two price lock and free white-glove migration quoted at 1-5 business days. Cake Equity publishes 20% off for Pulley migrators plus a free 48-hour migration and a 1:1 call with their migration team, and Ledgy markets a free, fully validated migration with a dedicated specialist who reviews every grant. These are marketing commitments that can change, so ask for the terms in writing before you commit.
Vendors describe it differently and it matters for what you plan against. Pulley's own FAQ describes an exclusive partnership with Carta for migration and a shutdown on December 8, 2026. Ledgy's campaign page calls it an acquisition. Business Insider reported on the wind-down on September 16, 2026, including the pricing treatment for Pulley customers who move to Carta. Whatever the corporate structure, your dates come from Pulley's FAQ.
No. Pulley has said it will not assist migrations to any provider other than Carta. If you choose a different platform, you export and rebuild the records yourself, on your own timeline, with December 8, 2026 as the hard stop. Several alternatives run their own migration teams and will do the import for you, some at no charge.
No. Those are legal agreements between your company and its stakeholders, not something tied to Pulley as a platform, so the terms survive the move. What can be lost is the paperwork that proves them — which is why you export the signed agreements, board consents and prior valuation reports yourself rather than relying on a database export alone.
Pulley's FAQ says customers migrating to Carta can carry over their cap table and equity records, and that Carta can accept existing Pulley 409A valuations and support the defence of prior valuation work. On any other platform, confirm how the reports are retained and who defends the prior valuation, because most vendors charge for 409A separately: Carta is quote-only, Cake Equity lists $1,500, Astrella and Qapita price it as an add-on, and Capboard delivers it through partners from $1,800.
Because only some of them publish a price. The nine platforms in the tables above publish entry pricing, so they appear with figures taken from their own pricing pages on September 27, 2026. Vendors that only quote through sales, such as Shareworks by Morgan Stanley, appear in their own table with their pricing model instead of an invented number.
