Carta doesn’t have a transparent pricing plan as many other SaaS do.

If you’re looking to get a better price on your Carta subscription or you’re simply intrigued by the tool’s pricing, go on reading this article.

Carta’s Prices From 5 Customers

Carta’s pricing is based on stakeholder count, cap table complexity, and the plan you select, so prices can vary a lot.

Here are a few quotes shared by Carta’s customers in Capiche:

  • $2,500/year for up to 25 security holders.
  • $1,000/year. Plus a $500 onboarding fee that we managed not to get charged.
  • $2,500/year.
  • $1,500/year. Initial quote: $2,500/year.
  • $100/month after negotiations.

As you can see, Carta’s price is around $2,500/year.

However, they have a free plan. This is only for companies with up to 25 stakeholders and up to $1M raised. When you graduate from this plan, you’re offered a 20% off in the first year of a paid plan.

Something you must take into account is that Carta has a history of changing prices. Here’s what some of Carta’s customers say about this in G2:

  • Carta raised pricing on us by almost 10x without warning or explanation.
  • Massive pricing increasing and changes versus agreed pricing.
  • Terrible experience with sales and the pricing going from $99 to $3,000.
  • Pricing is very opaque.

Divvy, BILL’s spend and expense management solution, is one of the easiest and most efficient ways to manage your company spend.
