Pricing Transparency in Private Markets
For decades, fund administration has been a black box, unclear pricing, hidden fees, and carry sharing buried in fine print.
Allocations was built to change that.
By combining SPV formation, fund admin, and compliance software into one automated platform, Allocations delivers transparent flat-fee pricing that lets fund managers keep 100% of their carry and economics.
No recurring surprises. No back-office bloat. Just one predictable cost from setup to distributions.
Allocations Pricing Model
Allocations model is simple and predictable; a one-time flat fee per vehicle.
You pay once to launch your SPV or fund. Allocations handles:
Entity formation (Delaware LLC or fund structure)
Banking and escrow setup
Investor onboarding (KYC / AML / KYB)
Compliance filings (Form D + Blue Sky)
Tax & K-1 preparation
NAV dashboard and investor portal access
That’s it. No per-investor fees, no AUM tiers, and no hidden admin charges.
Flat-Fee vs Percentage-Based Pricing
Most competitors (like AngelList, Sydecar, or Carta) take a percentage of carry or fund size, effectively taxing your success.
Allocations believes founders and fund managers should own their upside, not share it with software.
Pricing Model | Allocations | AngelList | Sydecar | Carta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Fee Type | Flat One-Time | 5% Carry + Fees | Custom Quote | Subscription |
Carry Retention | 100% GP-Owned | Shared | Shared | Shared |
Hidden Fees | ✗ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Setup Speed | Minutes | 2–5 Days | 2–5 Days | Weeks |
Assets Supported | Startups, Crypto, Real Estate | Startups Only | Startups | Equity Only |
When you use Allocations, you’re not just buying fund software — you’re buying back your carry.

Why Flat-Fee Pricing Matters
Predictable pricing isn’t just about saving money; it’s about removing friction from the investment process.
For emerging managers, every dollar matters. Allocations help you launch and manage SPVs and funds without giving up equity or carry, accelerating your path to scalability.
Whether you’re closing your first $250K deal or managing a $50M fund, the pricing stays consistent, transparent, and aligned with your growth.
Who Uses Allocations
Allocations’ flat-fee pricing model has made it the go-to platform for:
First-time fund managers
Angel syndicates and operators
Family offices managing multiple SPVs
Crypto and RWA funds
Institutional LPs seeking standardized reporting
With over $2B+ in assets administered and thousands of SPVs launched, Allocations has become the infrastructure layer of modern private markets.
Allocations vs Traditional Admin Firms
Traditional fund administrators often charge:
Setup fees ($8,000–$15,000 per SPV)
Ongoing annual admin fees
Additional K-1, audit, or reporting costs
Allocations consolidates all of that into a single transparent flat fee, often at 70–90% lower cost & completes setup in hours, not weeks.
Conclusion: Simplicity Is the New Premium
Allocations pricing isn’t just cheaper, it’s fairer.
It reflects a new era of fund administration: fast, transparent, and software-driven.
With flat-fee pricing, no hidden costs, and 100% carry ownership, Allocations gives every manager from angels to institutions the power to launch and scale with confidence.
Allocations gets you from idea to funded SPV in days — not weeks.
