Use when

You are early enough that a five-stakeholder free tier covers you, and you want to stop tracking equity in a spreadsheet.

Skip when

You need deep US-specific compliance tooling, or you are already past the stakeholder counts where the pricing steps up.

First 5 stakeholders are always free. Paid tiers run roughly US$1,000 a year for 25 stakeholders and US$2,750 for 40, the latter including two annual 409A valuations. The free tier genuinely covers a founding team plus early advisors, which is the point at which most startups first need a real cap table.
