The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Carta free plan eligibility as captured 19 January 2024 was capped at companies with fewer than 25 stakeholders and less than $1M raised in funding; Hnry fee is charged as 1 percent of income processed through the platform rather than a flat subscription, so cost rises directly with earnings
