Capmatter vs Eqvista

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.

Eqvista combines equity management, valuation services, and app-based company valuation for private companies. Its cap table tools track ownership and manage shares, options, SAFEs, and employee equity, alongside vesting schedules, compliance, and funding or liquidity scenario modeling. Governance and compliance features include board resolutions and voting, 83(b) elections, Rule 701, Form 3921, and ASC 718 support. Valuation offerings include 409A and fair market valuations, software and IP, gift and estate tax, ASC 820 portfolio valuations, and QSBS attestation letters. Real-Time Company Valuation provides an app-based estimate of common stock value for private companies; Eqvista says it does not replace a certified 409A valuation. Eligible companies can connect QuickBooks to send financial data into that feature, and the mobile app provides valuation insights on iOS and Android. The free cap table plan covers fewer than 20 stakeholders. Premium Cap Table costs $2 a month, billed per stakeholder; a valuation and cap table bundle is listed from $990 a year. Eqvista says it uses AWS, AWS KMS encryption at rest, and TLS/SSL in transit.
