Issuers compared with Closir
Closir alternative for investor targeting and IR CRM
01 Direct answer
Buy-side engagement tool or one IR workspace
Closir, a London based investor relations platform, fits issuers that want a dedicated tool to understand and approach the buy-side. Issuers fits a US small or mid cap that wants targeting from SEC filings plus the investor CRM, IR website and disclosure approvals in the same subscription. Issuers starts at $499 a month billed yearly and the website sits on Public at $1,499. Closir needs a quote, so any saving depends on your proposal.

03 Closir strengths
When Closir is the better buy
A dedicated buy-side tool
If your investor base sits mostly outside the US and buy-side engagement is the whole job, a specialist platform with vendor support may fit better. Issuers is built around US SEC filings.
Vendor support and onboarding
A team that wants a vendor to help plan outreach and coach the first meetings may value a managed relationship. Issuers is self-service and expects your IR lead to drive it.
Non-US coverage
Issuers does not cover non-US ownership registers. A company with a large European or UK holder base should check coverage in any tool it picks.
04 Issuers strengths
When Issuers is the better buy
A known price
Plans are listed on the pricing page and bought through checkout. Public at $1,499 a month billed yearly is $17,988 a year, with the website, CRM, ownership data and approvals included.
Your team publishes
News, results, presentations and governance pages are updated by your staff in the IR website module, without change requests to an agency. Counsel and the CFO still approve what goes live.
Approvals and CRM behind the site
The disclosure approval workflow keeps decisions with an audit trail, and the investor relations CRM holds contacts and meeting history in the same workspace.
05 Cost worksheet
Build the renewal worksheet from your quote
Ask Closir for the annual fee, the number of users, data coverage by region and any charge for extra contacts or reports. These are questions for your quote, not a claim that Closir charges for each item.
Record the contract term, renewal notice and your export rights for contacts and meeting notes. Then add what you pay today for a separate IR website, approvals and CRM, since those sit in one Issuers plan.
For a US issuer that wants the website, ownership data and approvals, use Public as the comparison: 25,000 contacts, 120 briefs a month, 10 seats and a 7 year audit log.
