Capmatter vs CapSign

Capmatter is browser-based equity management software for Indian startups and private limited companies. Its cap table records shareholders, share classes, voting rights, and liquidation preferences in an immutable ledger with an audit trail. For funding rounds, users can model pre- and post-money valuations, allocations, and dilution, then generate term sheet summaries. Scenario planning lets teams compare options and accept a chosen scenario into the live cap table. ESOP tools provide configurable vesting schedules and per-employee progress, with a default four-year schedule and one-year cliff. Its valuation calculator uses revenue and EBITDA multiples as well as comparable Indian deal analysis. The service derives a statutory calendar from company records for ROC and Companies Act 2013 obligations. Users can generate cap table, ESOP, and board-resolution PDFs, and import shareholder, share-class, ESOP-grant, and ledger data from Excel or CSV with row validation. A free plan is available; Pro costs ₹2,999 per month plus 18% GST. Capmatter says its outputs are informational and not professional advice.

CapSign is a web-based cap table of record for private companies, combining equity, governance, and fundraising workflows. Companies can track share classes, options, RSUs, vesting, acceleration, 83(b) activity, ISO $100k limit tracking, dilution scenarios, and fundraising modeling. Registers can remain on CapSign, use public onchain lots, or use a confidential onchain register. CapSign says onchain registers run on Base Sepolia and will move to Base mainnet with the first verified issuers. Holder names are never public, while capitalization totals appear publicly only when a company opts in. Issuers can open Rule 506(b) or 506(c) placements where investors verify, sign, and pay, with shares issued at closing. Email signatures update records after the final signature. Companies can import or export Open Cap Format files. Investors can review holdings, sign documents, fund subscriptions by wire, and track vesting and 83(b) deadlines. Pricing is on request.
