# Mantle vs. Carta

Everything you need without the enterprise complexity or the $20k+ price tag.

- Predictable, flat-rate pricing
- White-glove cap table setup available
- Unlimited stakeholders included on all plans

## The modern standard for equity without the "legacy" tax.

Ditch the "PhD in Carta" requirement.

You shouldn't need a certification to issue an option grant. Mantle turns "where's that button?" into "oh, that was easy."

A bill that doesn't ruin your day.

No per-stakeholder gouging, no $20k surprises—just one flat, transparent rate that lets you grow without the gatekeeping.

Talk to a human, not a ticket.

Stop screaming into the void of a weeks-long ticket queue. Our team resolves in minutes what legacy platforms ignore for months.
