Carta reveals 50-stakeholder cap on Build plan, revamps tier messaging
What happened
Between the Dec 22, 2025 and Dec 29, 2025 captures of Carta's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Build plan now explicitly shows stakeholder limit of 'Up to 50 stakeholders' — this limit was not displayed on the previous version of the pricing page; Build and Scale plan taglines updated.
