Instead of Cake Equity
Cake Equity alternatives
Cake Equity centers on startup ownership, combining cap-table records and audit logs with fundraising scenarios for SAFEs and convertible notes. It also manages stock options, RSUs and RSAs, and My Cake gives employees access to their grants and vesting progress. Investors can use its communications and document-sharing tools. US compliance coverage includes 409A valuations, Form 3921, 83(b), ASC 718, Rule 701 and QSBS. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $1,000 per year. It works on Android, iOS and the web, with mobile access through a browser rather than an app-store download.

Alternatives may suit companies that need valuation services, broader global compensation workflows, specialized diligence tools, or software for board and benefits administration. Compare the equity and award types each handles, its compliance and reporting coverage, and how employees, investors or other stakeholders access information. Also weigh integrations, platform availability and the stated pricing: some have free plans, while others price on request. A product focused on benefits or board meetings may address a different need than Cake’s equity-management tools.
