I find Cake Equity to be simple to use and really intuitive, which is especially beneficial for those who aren't necessarily experts in this space. It makes understanding complex aspects of managing a company and a staff capital table much easier. I appreciate how quickly I can get a glance at my cap table and how well it facilitates modeling for capital raising and gathering investor information during capital raise processes. The ease of setup was another highlight, as the initial setup was very easy for me. This positive experience is reflected in my likelihood to recommend Cake Equity to a friend or colleague, for which I would give a score of nine out of ten. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cake Equity makes managing our cap table and employee equity plans incredibly simple and stress-free. The platform is intuitive, easy to use, and saves a significant amount of time compared to manual spreadsheets. Their support team is also very responsive and helpful.

While the platform is great overall, some of the reporting features feel a bit limited and could offer more flexibility. Occasionally, the navigation between sections isn't as intuitive as it could be, which can make it harder to find specific details quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s got what I need at a price that makes sense for an early stage founder. I’m able to scale it with the business, track my cap table, model dilution etc. it just makes it really easy to understand the equity side which can be confusing when you first start planning everything out.

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.
