Eqvista is an affordable, feature-broad cap table tool with a generous free tier and low per-shareholder pricing, plus 409A valuations as a paid add-on. Aportia is built around dynamic equity and the freeze to a fixed cap table — the one thing Eqvista doesn't do — on a flat price with unlimited members. Here's an honest comparison.

Eqvista is inexpensive and broad. Its free tier covers up to 20 shareholders, per-shareholder pricing is low ($2/shareholder/month), and it offers 409A valuations from around $990/year — useful if you're a US company that needs one. For straightforward, budget-conscious cap-table management, Eqvista is a capable option.
Eqvista is a static cap table. Aportia adds a dynamic equity engine and a one-click freeze that turns the dynamic split into a fixed cap table when you raise. If your equity should reflect ongoing contributions during the bootstrapping phase, that's exactly what Eqvista can't model.
The differentiator
Aportia is the only one of the two with dynamic, contribution-based equity and a freeze from dynamic to a fixed cap table.
Eqvista is free to 20 shareholders, then $2 per shareholder per month, with 409A from about $990/year. Aportia is $19.99/month or $199.99/year per project with unlimited members — no per-shareholder scaling as the cap table grows.
Eqvista wins on low-cost basics and optional 409A; Aportia wins on dynamic equity and the freeze.
