The Problem
6 key challenges teams are facing with Carta
Based on verified user reviews, here's what real customers say about their experience with Carta.
Expensive
Carta's pricing looks attractive initially, but hidden costs and annual increases hit hard as you grow. This gives small startups sticker shock and makes equity management too expensive.
Onboarding issues
Carta software is slow and has complicated setup processes which leave teams waiting months to become operational when they need to move quickly.
Poor customer support
Unresponsive support teams with long wait times create frustration when companies need immediate help with critical equity matters.
Complex reporting
Due to the rigidity of Carta’s reporting feature, producing basic cap table insights often requires more training and technical skill than it should.
UX issues
Login problems, cluttered navigation, and overwhelming interfaces make routine equity management tasks unnecessarily difficult.
Technical issues
Frequent glitches with equity term calculations and inadequate notifications lead to confusion and require constant double-checking.

Testimonials
Hear from companies who made the switch
Expert guidance and hands-on support made our transition seamless
I recently transitioned my company from Carta to Qapita, and the experience was outstanding. Qapita truly held my hand through every step. The team was highly responsive, proactive, and incredibly patient. They truly held my hand through the entire process (discovery, onboarding, data migration, validation, and go-live) making something that initially felt overwhelming, smooth and stress-free.
Great onboarding experience overall.
We moved over from Carta, which was very over priced, and did not provide any kind of support. Qapita made the whole experience seamless and pain-free, and helped us to move everything over without any issues. What is also great, is that we get all this for a fraction of what we were paying Carta.
Easily manageable platform. amazing customer service
I love the amount of regular support that was provided to get us set up and at the price point. The structure of the contract did not feel like it was penalizing us for scaling.
