What is an alternative to Stripe Atlas, Carta and Clerky together?

Corply forms the Delaware C-Corp, keeps the stock ledger and SAFE register, and drafts board and stockholder consents with every signature collected, from the browser or an AI agent. Founders who prefer separate tools often pair Stripe Atlas or Clerky with a cap table platform such as Carta, EquityList or Eqvista.

Do I need Carta if I use Stripe Atlas or Clerky?

You need a cap table somewhere. Stripe Atlas doesn't keep one, and Clerky's MCP server only reads the cap table. Many founders add Carta's free Launch plan; others keep the cap table in the same system that issues the stock.

What happens to Pulley customers?

Pulley stops operating on December 8, 2026. Customers who opt in by November 30, 2026 get an assisted move to Carta; others export their records and move to another platform.

Does Corply handle stock options and 409A valuations?

Not as a self-serve product today. Corply handles formation, founder stock, SAFE rounds, board and stockholder consents and the cap table for Delaware C-Corps. Companies granting employee options may still use an equity platform for the plan and 409A.

Stripe Atlas, Carta and Clerky alternatives in 2026

By Corply · Updated November 11, 2026

A typical startup uses Stripe Atlas or Clerky to incorporate and Carta for the cap table, then emails PDFs between them every time the board approves something. The alternative is one record: the service that forms the company also issues the stock, runs the SAFE round, collects the board consent and updates the cap table.

One record with Corply

Corply forms Delaware C-Corps and keeps working on the company afterwards. It issues founder stock with vesting, runs SAFE rounds on Y Combinator's post-money forms, drafts board and stockholder consents, and sends each person a signing link. Every completed action lands in the stock ledger and SAFE register, so the cap table matches the signed documents. The Compliance plan, $699 a year, also files the Delaware annual report. You can work in the browser or ask Claude or Codex.

Corply doesn't offer self-serve option plans or 409A valuations today, and it isn't a law firm. Detailed comparisons: Stripe Atlas alternatives, Clerky alternatives and Carta alternatives.
