Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions we hear most from prospective customers.
Which Caplight plan is right for me?
Basic is for company employees and individual investors who want pricing context on private companies and the ability to buy or sell their pre-IPO stock through Caplight. Pro is the full platform for professional investors, brokers, and operators actively transacting in private markets — adds the live order book, sourcing tools, full company and investor coverage, MarketPrice, and signals. API & Integrations is for data teams and AI agents that need programmatic access via REST API, MCP server, or bulk delivery. Many customers run Pro and API & Integrations together.
How much does each plan cost?
Pricing depends on team size, the data scope you need, and how you intend to use the platform. Click "Get pricing" on any tier and we’ll come back with a tailored quote.
What’s the difference between Pro and API & Integrations?
Pro gives your team access to the full Caplight web application — search, watchlists, the live order book, trading workflow, and the company and investor databases. API & Integrations is the same underlying data exposed programmatically through a REST API, an MCP server for AI agents, and bulk delivery via FTP or S3. Most teams that want both buy them together.
Can I upgrade, downgrade, or change plans later?
Yes. Plans can be adjusted at any time — most customers start with one tier and add another as their workflow grows (for example, adding API & Integrations on top of Pro once an engineering team gets involved). Reach out and we’ll handle the transition.
Is there a trial or evaluation period?
We offer guided demos and structured evaluation periods for institutional customers. Schedule a demo and we’ll walk you through the data and tooling against your specific use case before you commit.
What is Caplight MarketPrice?
MarketPrice is Caplight's daily reference price for actively traded private companies. It blends recent trade prints, live bid/offer activity, and other observable inputs into a single time-stamped price per company. It’s included on Pro for actively traded names and available across all coverage on API & Integrations.
Is Caplight a regulated broker-dealer?
Securities transactions facilitated through Caplight are executed via Caplight Markets LLC, a FINRA/SIPC-registered broker-dealer. Data and software products are operated by Caplight Technologies, Inc. See BrokerCheck and our Form CRS in the footer for full regulatory disclosures.
