Choose Carta if

- You incorporate in ADGM, DIFC, or KSA and want documents drafted for it.

- You are pre-seed or seed and cannot justify enterprise software pricing.
Questions, answered
Can I move my cap table from Carta to BildrX?
Yes. Export your stakeholders and securities, import them into BildrX, and keep issuing from there. The switching whitepaper walks through it step by step.
Does BildrX do 409A valuations?
No. If you need a US 409A, keep using a valuation provider. BildrX focuses on the register, the round, and the documents.
