Detailed Review
Equify frames cap table management as infrastructure rather than a spreadsheet replacement. Its cap table updates automatically from the securities transaction register, so the legal record and the ownership view cannot drift apart, and every operation from incorporation to a sale stays in the history.
French Tech instruments are first-class here: ordinary and preferred shares, BSA, BSPCE, AGA and convertible bonds. The company behind the site is registered in the French company register as ECAPITALIO, trading as Equify, in Neuilly-sur-Seine with Alexandre Leger as president.
Six modules around the register
The product page splits the platform into a cap table, employee ownership, registers and legal compliance, governance, a shareholder portal and a legal library. Governance covers convening meetings, signing minutes and tracking mandates, while the library keeps statutes and agreements archived for audits.
Employee ownership generates award letters and transfer orders, uses eIDAS electronic signatures and tracks vesting, pools and exercised securities in real time.
Plans from €500 a year
Starter costs €500 a year for up to 20 active members, with 200 transactions a year, 10 e-signatures, one governance group and email support. Essential (up to 50 members), Business (up to 100 active employees, adding IFRS 2 reporting, HRIS integration and a dedicated account manager) and Enterprise are priced on request.
Separate offers exist for law firms, investors and crowdfunded companies, and onboarding includes a guided migration with a compliance audit.
Data handling
The site states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest with AES-256 and hosted in data centres located in France, with continuous replication across separate sites. A GDPR-compliant privacy policy is linked from the footer.
Limitations to Consider
Only the Starter price is public, and the plans above it are quoted on request. The product is designed around French law (SAS, BSPCE, the register of securities movements), which narrows its value for companies outside France.
Legal notices and the privacy policy are hosted on external Notion pages that did not load for this review, so the entity details come from the French company register rather than a vendor imprint. The review rests on the vendor's public pages, not a hands-on test.
Who Should Use Equify
French SAS companies and groups that issue BSPCE or BSA and want the cap table, register and shareholder meetings handled by one system.
