Shares

Cap table and equity — employee portal, 409A, and international grants, connected to payroll and the books.

What it does

Built for the whole company, not a silo.

Shares keeps ownership straight: cap table, employee equity portal, 409A valuations, and international grants. It reads the same employee and finance records as Workforce and Ledger, so equity never drifts from reality.

What ships in the box

  • Core cap table from Starter (up to 50 stakeholders)
  • Employee portal + Ledger link at Growth
  • 409A + international (5 jurisdictions) at Scale
  • Flat monthly pricing by stakeholder count

Honest comparison

Shares vs Carta.

Carta defined the cap-table category and its network is real. The trade is network scale versus integration and price.

Where Carta wins

  • Network effects — investors, fund administration, and a liquidity/secondary marketplace Interlock doesn't have
  • 409A defensibility built on enormous valuation volume
  • Brand recognition with law firms and VCs

Where Shares wins

  • Flat $199–799/mo by stakeholder count — predictable, and typically far below Carta at comparable scale
  • Grants, vesting, and exercises sync natively with Workforce payroll and Ledger books
  • 409A and international grants (5 jurisdictions) at the Scale tier
  • Employee portal included from Growth

The verdict: Choose Carta if you need its investor network, fund admin, or secondary liquidity. Choose Shares if you want the cap table to live with payroll and the books instead of beside them.

Questions, answered

Shares — frequently asked.

What does Interlock Shares cost?

Shares is flat-priced by stakeholder count: Starter $199/mo (up to 50 stakeholders), Growth $399 (up to 150, with employee portal), Scale $799 (up to 500, with 409A and international grants), and custom Enterprise pricing. Annual billing takes 15% off; bundles save 20–50%.

Is Shares a Carta alternative?

For cap-table management, yes — at a flat price that's typically far below Carta at comparable stakeholder counts. Honestly: Carta wins if you need its investor network, fund administration, or secondary liquidity. Shares wins when the cap table should connect to payroll and the books — grants, vesting, and exercises sync with Workforce and Ledger natively.

Does Shares handle 409A valuations?

Yes — 409A valuations ship at the Scale tier ($799/mo), alongside international grant support for 5 jurisdictions. Enterprise adds custom valuation terms.

Do employees get their own equity view?

Yes — the employee equity portal ships from the Growth tier. Employees see grants, vesting schedules, and exercise options themselves, which cuts the recurring 'what do I own?' questions to zero.

Can I try Shares before buying?

Yes — self-serve tiers start with a 14-day free trial through Stripe checkout, and monthly billing cancels anytime.

Part of the OS

It never works alone.

Shares reads and writes the Common Data Core — the same governed data layer as every other Interlock product. No connectors, no sync jobs, no export-import. Pair it with the rest of the OS and the agents see the whole company.

Put Shares to work.

Priced for the mid-market. Bundles save 20–50%.
