Slyced vs Eqvista
Eqvista is a budget-friendly cap table tool with a free tier and paid plans. The trade-off: the product is built for record-keeping, not for actually running a fundraise. If you want a static cap table and pay-per-feature add-ons, Eqvista works. If you want a command center, you'll outgrow it fast.

Frequently asked questions
How does Eqvista pricing compare to Slyced?
On the surface, Eqvista can look lower cost because it has a generous free tier. But the total cost of ownership can rise because nearly everything beyond static record-keeping is a paid add-on: 409A reports, e-signature envelopes, share certificate generation. By the time you actually fundraise, compare the current plan details against Slyced's flat annual price.
What's the biggest difference between Eqvista and Slyced?
Eqvista is built for record-keeping. Slyced is built for running a fundraise. Eqvista lacks a data room, has limited e-signatures, no fundraising CRM, no scenario modeling depth, and no AI features. If your cap table is mostly static, Eqvista is fine. If you're actively raising rounds and managing investors, you need Slyced.
Can I migrate from Eqvista to Slyced?
Yes. Export your data as CSV from Eqvista, then use Slyced's import wizard. The full migration takes about 30 seconds. Cancel Eqvista at your next renewal date - there's no data lock-in.
Does Eqvista do 409A valuations?
As a paid add-on, typically $500-$2,000 per report. Each round you raise typically needs a new 409A. Slyced includes AI 409A estimates on the Starter plan - fast and inexpensive for board approval ahead of formal 409As.
