Pulley review
A broad equity operations platform for teams that need workflows, compliance, and integrations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Pulley is an equity and cap table management platform for startup founders, finance teams, employees, investors, and private-equity organizations. It combines ownership tracking and equity issuance with employee and investor portals, offer letters, agreement signing, fundraising and dilution modeling, 409A valuations, compliance workflows, stock-based compensation reporting, and employee vesting and exercise dashboards. Its scope suits organizations managing equity across multiple stakeholders rather than teams seeking a narrowly focused cap table tool.
The plan structure is divided into Startup, Growth, and Enterprise. Startup includes cap table management, share certificates, SAFE, option, and RSA agreements, a fundraise modeler, interactive offer letters, and concierge onboarding. Growth adds 409A valuations, custom agreements, option exercises, Rule 701, Form 3921, and board approvals. Enterprise adds stock-based compensation reporting, custom reporting, managed equity administration services, and secondary liquidity solutions. Pulley offers a 14-day trial, while the paid plans are presented as contact-sales offerings.
Pulley’s strongest fit is for equity teams that need a connected operating process. Integrations include BambooHR, Bob, Gusto, Humaans, Justworks, Paychex Flex, Paycom, Paylocity, Personio, QuickBooks Online Payroll, Rippling, Sage HR, and other HRIS and payroll systems. The platform also supports RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, RSAs, warrants, and phantom grants, alongside advanced vesting rules and tax reporting. Organizations wanting employee portals, compliance workflows, and broader administration should consider Pulley; teams seeking a free plan, desktop access, or a narrowly scoped tool should look elsewhere.
