03 ingage strengths

When ingage is the better buy

European roadshows and FTSE style feedback

ingage deserves a close look when European roadshows and capital markets days dominate your calendar. Scheduling, logistics, structured attributable feedback and board reporting sit within its offer. Its FTSE 100 testimonials provide context for teams using that style of engagement. Issuers records meetings and supports preparation, but does not replace those event logistics or aggregated feedback benchmarks.

Outlook and iOS are part of the routine

If meetings and email are captured through Outlook, removing that integration changes daily work. ingage also gives traveling executives itineraries, investor profiles and briefing packs through its iOS app. Issuers has neither an Outlook integration nor a native iOS app. Treat those gaps as evaluation criteria when your team depends on them between meetings.

You already work with Computershare

Computershare registry clients may prefer evaluating IR software through an existing supplier relationship. ingage includes dedicated account managers, secure advisor access and separate records for IR, treasury, ESG and company secretary teams. Ask which services your proposal includes and how registry and CRM responsibilities are divided. Existing supplier status alone does not establish a data integration or bundled price.

04 Issuers strengths

When Issuers is the better buy

A lean US IR team

A CFO and an IR team of 1 to 3 people need usable history before the next call. The investor relations CRM brings contacts, meetings and notes into the same workspace as one page briefs. Your staff still owns follow up and keeps the records current.

Targets grounded in US filings

SEC filing based investor targeting helps build a US shortlist. Shareholder identification from public filings shows reported ownership from 13F, 13D and 13G on Public and Enterprise. Filings arrive with a delay and do not identify every beneficial owner. Issuers does not supply ingage aggregated peer data.

The website and approvals together

Public includes an IR website on your subdomain, data rooms, earnings preparation and market intelligence. The disclosure approval workflow keeps review decisions with an audit trail retained for 7 years. Your CFO and counsel remain responsible for approval and publication. Issuers does not run webcasts.

This fits a listed company that wants its own team to operate the software at a known subscription price. Outreach email goes through the workspace's own SMTP mailbox. It does not log Outlook activity, so agree who records conversations before replacing your current process.

05 Cost worksheet

Build the renewal worksheet from your quote

Ask Computershare for a written subscription quote showing included users, contact data, roadshow tools, feedback and benchmarking. Request separate confirmation of any setup, import, training, advisor access or support charges. These are questions for your quote, not a claim that ingage charges for each item.

Record the initial term, renewal notice, price changes, export rights and access after cancellation. Add your internal time for recording meetings and preparing board reports. If Outlook logging saves your staff work today, include the effort needed to replace it in the Issuers column.

For a US listed issuer that needs ownership data, the website and disclosure approvals, use Public as the comparison. It includes 25,000 contacts, 120 briefs a month, 10 seats and a 7 year audit log. Growth covers a smaller CRM requirement but does not include that full Public scope.

Subscription inputs for your worksheet

ingage subscription and scope: your written quote
ingage setup and renewal terms: confirm with Computershare
Growth, billed yearly: $499 a month
Growth, month to month: $999 a month
Public, billed yearly: $17,988 a year
Public monthly equivalent: $1,499 billed yearly
Public, month to month: $2,999 a month
Enterprise, billed yearly: $3,999 a month

Growth includes investor CRM, 2,500 contacts, 25 briefs a month, 3 seats and 2 data rooms. Review Issuers plans and billing options before choosing. Checkout is self-service with no sales call. Calculate any saving only after matching the ingage quote to the features you retain and the internal work you take on.

06 Move plan

Move the records through a reporting cycle

Begin with export rights and your renewal deadline. Confirm the files you can obtain before giving up access, and keep the original export as an archive.

Step 1

Export contacts and history

Request contacts, institutions, interaction dates, notes, target lists and available attachments. Ask Computershare which formats and fields are available. Check whether feedback and briefing materials can leave the platform under your agreement.
Step 2

Map funds and owners

Match institutions, funds and people before import. Assign an internal relationship owner to each active record. Resolve duplicates and distinguish a parent institution from its funds so the next meeting reaches the right history.
Step 3

Import and verify

Map the available columns into the receiving CRM. Compare sample contacts, dates and meeting notes with the archive. Confirm how to retain unsupported fields or attachments rather than assuming every exported item imports automatically.
Step 4

Rebuild targeting lists

Recreate priority lists using SEC filings and your own relationship history. Recheck contact details and fund assignments. Do not assume anonymized platform insights, ingage peer benchmarks or licensed contact data transfer with your CRM records.
Step 5

Run both through a cycle

Use both systems through one reporting cycle. Reconcile meeting records, follow ups and board reporting. Confirm your replacement process works, then end the old subscription according to its notice terms and retain the permitted archive.

Assign responsibility for meeting capture, investor replies and disclosure review during the overlap. A move is complete when the team can prepare the next meeting and explain the reporting record from the new workspace.

Questions

ingage alternative questions from CFOs and IR leads

What is a good alternative to ingage?

Issuers is a good ingage alternative for a US small or mid cap that wants investor CRM, meeting briefs, ownership data and disclosure approvals in one workspace. Growth starts at $499 a month billed yearly. Public adds the IR website and approval workflow at $1,499 a month billed yearly. Keep ingage in consideration if Outlook, iOS access or structured roadshow feedback is essential.

Is ingage owned by Computershare?

Yes, ingage is now sold by Computershare as its IR CRM through Computershare Investor Engagement. Computershare announced an agreement to acquire ingage on December 12, 2024. For an evaluation or renewal, request the current proposal from your Computershare representative and confirm the included features, service responsibilities, contract term and access to your records when the subscription ends.

How much does ingage cost?

ingage does not publish pricing, so the cost comes from a Computershare demo and quote. Ask for the subscription, included users, data access, implementation and renewal terms in writing. Issuers publishes Growth at $499, Public at $1,499 and Enterprise at $3,999 a month billed yearly. Without your ingage quote, there is no defensible dollar saving to calculate.

What are the main ingage competitors?

The main ingage competitors to evaluate include Irwin, Nasdaq IR Insight, Q4 and IR workspaces such as Issuers. They cover different combinations of investor CRM, targeting and broader IR work. Compare the features your team actually uses, data sources, export rights and total subscription scope. Issuers suits teams that also want a hosted IR website and disclosure approvals.

Can we move our investor contacts from ingage to another IR CRM?

Yes, provided your agreement and the available exports let you retrieve the records you need. Confirm contact, institution, meeting, note and attachment exports with Computershare before canceling. Map the fields in the receiving CRM and check a sample against the originals. Keep a dated archive and run both systems through a reporting cycle before ending access.

Does Issuers integrate with Outlook like ingage?

No, Issuers does not integrate with Outlook to log meetings and emails as ingage does. Your team records investor interactions in the workspace and uses CRM history for meeting preparation and follow ups. Outreach email goes through the workspace's own SMTP mailbox. This does not synchronize Outlook history or replace the ingage integration, so include the manual recording work in your evaluation.
