Cake has made it incredibly easy to manage our cap table, ESOP, and execute 409As. Shannon has made it a seamless process getting up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not always the most intuitive platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate Cake Equity's intuitive and user-friendly design, making it easy to use even without extensive onboarding. The competitive pricing compared to industry peers is a big plus, and their exceptional customer support, highlighted by frequent and engaging interactions, really stands out. The seamless setup process, despite our complex initial data, demonstrated their capability to handle complexity and deliver smooth functionality. Their explainer videos and supportive app enhance usability, offering a comprehensive solution to equity management challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I felt initial concerns about the platform's stability as it seemed more like a web app and not as sturdy as other platforms like Capital, Astrella, or Carta, which feel more similar to banking apps in reliability. This concern was about the potential risk of the platform shutting down or vanishing. Additionally, while Cake is user-friendly, there was a lack of long-standing reliability initially, although these concerns were addressed after speaking with the Cake team. Another downside I see is the pricing scheme; it's somewhat deceptive because, while starting off competitively priced, it eventually requires additional costs for more features, making it comparable to the market rate. As more features are needed, the costs increase significantly, somewhat undermining the initial attractiveness of the basic plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Karan, thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. I’m glad our setup process, support, and resources made things easier for you—especially with a complex cap table. I also hear your concerns about pricing as companies scale, and we’ll keep working to build trust and deliver clear value.
Giving employees the insights of their ESOP for their self management, this kind of visibility is a bonus for the team. IT also makes on and offboarding of employees to the ESOP so much simpler!
We have done a round, and are in the process of doing another round - the calculations used in Cake made the planning and process so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, Cake Equity is a useful tool that efficiently supports my management of stocks and stock options, offering effortless tracking of vesting periods, offer signatures, equity distributions, and more. This comprehensive functionality streamlines everything related to employee share purchase plans, which is incredibly beneficial for managing these complex tasks effectively.

Saves hours of admin and gives employees a more professional experience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The layout and configuration change frequently. I suppose that's the trade-off for having new features released on a regular basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cake really simplifies employee share schemes for both employers and employees, which can be a really complex topic, particularly if you haven't been involved in one! I find the transparency for employees really empowering (and not to mention, it is super stylish!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not a dislike, but more of a limitation once an organisation reaches a certain size or has complex/multiple share schemes in place, but I know this is something they are actively working on! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
