Equidam vs Valutico: Which Valuation Platform Fits Your Work?

Comparing Equidam and Valutico? Both platforms are used by advisors who value companies for clients, and Equidam is also used by founders who value their own startup. This page sets out where each one fits, using what each company publishes on its own website.

Why compare Equidam and Valutico?

If you searched for Valutico or a Valutico alternative, you are probably in one of two situations. You are a founder who needs a valuation for a funding round, an option plan or a negotiation with a co-founder. Or you are an advisor, accountant, consultant or corporate finance firm, and you want software to value companies for your clients.

Both platforms serve the second group. Valutico describes itself as a platform for corporate finance and M&A teams, accounting and audit firms, private equity and banks. Equidam has a professional licence for advisors, with co-branded reports and pay-per-valuation pricing. The difference is in focus. Valutico covers the whole deal workflow, from valuation to data rooms and due diligence. Equidam concentrates on valuing startups and private growth companies, and founders can also buy it directly.

Who each platform is built for

Equidam: startup valuations, for founders and for the advisors who work with them

Equidam values startups and private growth companies. It combines several methods into one result and weights them by the company’s stage, so a pre-revenue startup leans on qualitative methods and a company with a track record leans on its financials. Every assumption is in the report, which makes the number something you can discuss with an investor rather than defend on trust.

Founders use it to prepare a funding round, set the price of an option plan, or agree a buyout with a partner. Advisors use the professional licence to sell valuations as a service: you collect the client’s data, run the valuation, review it with the client and send a report with your own branding on it.

Valutico: a deal platform for finance teams

Valutico is built for professional finance teams. Its own site names four groups: corporate finance and M&A, accounting, audit and tax advisory, private equity and investment teams, and banks. Beyond valuation it sells a virtual data room, a due diligence module, credit analysis, an AI assistant, forecasting and an outsourced valuation service.

Valutico also says it supports early-stage, SME, mid-market and investment cases, and its method list includes the VC method. So it can value a startup. Its centre of gravity is the M&A and audit workflow, where a transaction database and a wide choice of methods matter most.

For advisors, accountants and consultants

If you value companies for clients, both platforms will do the job. The choice comes down to what you value most often and how you want to pay.

Pick Equidam if most of your clients are startups and young growth companies. The professional licence runs six methods. Five are built for companies with short histories and uncertain forecasts: qualitative methods score the team, market and product, and the discounted cash flow methods apply survival rates to account for early-stage risk. The sixth, market multiples, prices the company against comparable listed companies. The methodology follows the IPEV valuation guidelines and is published on equidam.com, so a client’s investor can check how the number was built.

The professional licence works like this:

• You pay per valuation, billed every three months, with no up-front fee. A valuation costs at most €199, and less as your volume grows.
• Reports are co-branded. Your colours and disclaimer lead, with a small “Powered by Equidam” tag.
• An Equidam analyst reviews your first client valuation before it goes out, and joins one call if a client’s investor challenges the methodology.
• You can change the discount rate, survival rate, WACC and multiples, or add your own comparables.
• Your team gets an hour of onboarding on the platform and the methodology.

Pick Valutico if your work is mainly mid-market M&A, audit or bank lending, where you need precedent transactions across many countries and a full deal workflow around the valuation. Valutico does not publish prices, so you will need a demo to get a quote.

Methods: a startup set vs a wide toolkit

Equidam

Equidam combines several valuation methods into one result: the Scorecard and Checklist methods, the Venture Capital method, and two discounted cash flow methods, one with long-term growth and one with an exit multiple. Advisors on the professional licence also get a sixth, the market multiples method (comparable companies), which values the company on the revenue or EBITDA multiples of similar listed companies. Default weights depend on the company’s stage, and you can switch methods off or change their weight. The parameters behind them are sourced and listed on our data sources page: multiples from 30,000+ listed companies, Crunchbase data on angel, pre-seed and seed rounds by country, survival rates from national statistics offices, and Equidam research on VC return expectations and illiquidity.

Early-stage valuation is mostly about risk and the quality of the team and market, because the financials are thin. That is the case these methods are chosen for.

Valutico

Valutico offers more than 30 methods in one workflow, including DCF, EBITDA and revenue multiples, book value and the VC method, with tools to build WACC, beta and risk premiums. It says its methods are aligned with valuation standards from IVSC, AICPA, ASA, NACVA, ICAEW and EACVA. For an experienced valuer who wants to choose and combine methods for a mature business, that breadth is useful.

Pricing: published vs on request

Equidam

Founders can start with the free Essential plan, which shows a valuation range on screen. The paid Advanced and Expert plans add the downloadable report, benchmarks and, on Expert, a review by an Equidam analyst with a one-to-one call. They are one-off purchases, with no subscription and a full refund within 10 days.

Advisors pay per valuation on the professional licence, at most €199 each, with no up-front fee.

Valutico

Valutico does not publish prices on its website. Its pages ask you to book a demo. It offers a free virtual data room as a separate product.

Data and benchmarks

Equidam

• Revenue and EBITDA multiples from 30,000+ listed companies, gathered weekly
• Valuation parameters for 90 countries and 641 industries, updated every six months
• Valuation benchmarks against similar companies and recent similar funding rounds, using Equidam and Crunchbase data
• Assisted financial projections, with defaults based on the average performance of companies in the same industry

Valutico

• More than 1.1 million transactions, including private deals
• 53,000+ comparable public companies
• AI-suggested peer groups and transaction search

Valutico has the larger transaction database, and that matters for M&A work on established companies. For a seed-stage startup, comparable transactions are scarce anyway, and benchmarks against recent funding rounds and similar early-stage companies tend to say more.

Reports

Equidam

The report shows how each method reached its figure, with the qualitative assessment, the financial projections and the benchmarks. You can export it as a designed PDF, as Excel or as Markdown. On the professional licence the report carries your colours and disclaimer, and it is generated in about 20 seconds.

Valutico

Valutico’s report builder produces client-ready reports from the valuation outputs, methods, charts and assumptions, in the format and style the user chooses.

Getting started

Founders can try Equidam the same day without talking to anyone. Advisors book a short call, because we start a limited number of new advisors each month so our team can run every onboarding and review every first client valuation.

When to choose Equidam

• You are a founder preparing a funding round, an option plan or a share transfer, and you want a report investors can check
• You are an advisor, accountant or consultant whose clients are mostly startups and young growth companies
• You want to pay per valuation, with no up-front fee or annual contract
• You want the report under your own brand
• You want a method set designed for companies without a long financial history

When to choose Valutico

• Your work is mainly mid-market M&A, audit, tax or bank lending
• You need a large database of precedent transactions
• You want to choose from 30+ methods for each engagement
• You want data rooms, due diligence and credit tools on the same platform

The verdict

Valutico is a broad platform for finance teams that run transactions, audits and lending decisions. If that is your work, it covers more of it.

Equidam is the specialist for startup and early-stage valuation. Founders can use it directly, with published prices and a free plan to start. Advisors can sell it as a service under their own brand, paying per valuation with no up-front fee, and with an Equidam analyst behind their first client valuation.
