Stay on Carta when their win still matches the job. Look at ficary when you want practice management and books on one platform. Nominative comparison — not a partnership and not a client story.
Choose Carta when the cap table, 409A, or SAFE issue is the reason you are shopping.
Ownership, share issuance, 409A, SAFE workflows, and equity compliance. If the cap table is the job this year, they already sell that.
Choose ficary when a bank, lender, or investor has to read leftovers and statements on the same ledger you close — and the cap table stays where it is.
The operating books. A signed Capital pack is statements that foot at a named as-of — not who owns which share class. We do not issue securities.
Isolation and private inference: Protected SKU. Category page without vendor keywords as the only strategy: practice management software. All comparisons.
Practice + books
Early access is a conversation on a live leftover. Invited testers still sign in. The public site does not open unattended firm signup.
