How much equity management costs

Common pricing models: tiered plans, usage based, per module or bundle, and custom quote. Too few vendors publish comparable list prices for us to give a price range; the models and cost drivers below explain what you will be quoted.

  • Tiered plans. Editions priced by company stage or number of stakeholders, with features such as modeling or valuations in higher tiers.
  • Usage based. Pricing that scales with the number of stakeholders or securities on the cap table.
  • Per module or bundle. Valuations, fund administration or tax reporting sold as add-ons to the cap table product.
  • Custom quote. Larger companies with many plans or countries are quoted individually.
