Comparison
Slyced vs Shareworks
Shareworks (now part of Morgan Stanley at Work) is an enterprise-grade equity management platform built for late-stage private companies and public companies. The full feature set is powerful — and priced for finance teams with budget, not for solo founders running a seed-stage startup.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Shareworks so expensive?
Shareworks is built for late-stage and public companies — its pricing reflects the enterprise sales motion and the heavyweight feature set (global tax compliance, plan administration, broker integrations) that startups don't need. For a seed or Series A company, you're paying for capabilities that won't apply for years.
Can I migrate from Shareworks to Slyced?
Yes. Export your cap table as a CSV (Shareworks supports this — your account team can provide it) and use Slyced's import wizard. Your stakeholders and equity grants come over automatically. The full migration takes about a day end-to-end.
What does Shareworks have that Slyced doesn't?
Enterprise plan administration for public companies, global tax withholding logic across 50+ jurisdictions, deep payroll integrations, broker-of-record connections. If you're a Fortune 1000 company with thousands of equity holders across many countries, Shareworks is the right tool. Slyced is built for the venture-backed startup stage — incorporation through Series B.
Does Slyced support multi-country equity compliance?
Slyced handles standard US Delaware C-corp setups and supports international stakeholders with appropriate tax classifications. We don't have the same depth of country-specific compliance modules as Shareworks — though for the vast majority of startups, this is overkill until much later.
