Incumbent estimates based on publicly available pricing data and third-party reports. Per-stakeholder costs modeled as a platform base fee plus a per-stakeholder fee applied to all cap table participants (employees, option holders, investors, advisors). DealCycl pricing is published and includes a 3-year price lock. This calculator is for illustrative purposes only.

The structural problem with per-stakeholder pricing

Per-stakeholder pricing means your vendor profits from your headcount. Every new option holder, every investor associate added to the portal, every advisor — they're all revenue for your cap table provider.

That shapes product decisions in ways you can't always see — until you need something that conflicts with their model.

DealCycl uses flat, stage-based pricing because it was the only model where our incentive to build a better product didn't conflict with our revenue structure. As your cap table gets more complex — more stakeholders, more instruments, more scenarios — your pricing doesn't change. Managing that complexity is our job.
