Comparison of Issuers and Notified
Topic	Notified	Issuers
Pricing model	No public price list. The IR website, webcasting and wire distribution are quoted through sales, usually as a package.	Prices on the page. The IR website is in the Public plan, $1,499 a month billed yearly ($17,988 a year), or $2,999 month to month.
Main focus	Communications suite: GlobeNewswire distribution, earnings webcasts and virtual events, IR websites and PR tools.	Issuer workspace: IR website, investor CRM, meeting briefs, data rooms, disclosure workflow and earnings preparation.
IR website	Designed, hosted and managed IR sites, a long standing product line.	Hosted IR site on your subdomain, edited by the IR team, published through the same approval chain as releases.
Press release distribution	Core strength through GlobeNewswire.	Not a newswire. You keep the wire you use today; the approved release publishes to your IR site at the same time.
Earnings webcasts	Core strength, operator assisted calls and webcast hosting.	Not a webcast host. Link your webcast provider on the results page; replays and the script live next to the Q&A library.
Investor CRM and targeting	Check current product pages; IR Hub launched in 2025 adds analytics.	Investor CRM, targeting with fit score, ownership from 13F, 13D, 13G and Form 4 filings with the source for each figure.
Disclosure workflow	Not its main positioning.	Calendar, approvals, material event log, insider lists and an audit trail kept up to 7 years.
Visitor analytics	Site analytics.	Page and document analytics, and visits from links you sent are attached to the contact in the CRM.
How you start	Sales call, proposal, contract.	Checkout on the pricing page. The workspace opens right away.

02 Why teams switch

Why issuers look for a Notified alternative

The usual trigger is a renewal notice. The IR site was bundled with the wire and the webcast years ago, the contract renews as a package, and nobody on the team can say what the website alone costs. Comparing it against a single line item is the first step.

The second reason is speed on results day. When the release goes out at 7:00 ET and the site updates after a ticket, analysts and retail holders land on last quarter's numbers. Teams want the release, deck and webcast link live on the IR site the minute legal approves them, without a request to a vendor.

The third is everything around the site. The investor list sits in a spreadsheet, meeting notes in email, the disclosure calendar in someone's head. A site that knows which contacts read the results deck is useful only if the contacts live next to it.

A controller and a colleague checking footnotes in a printed quarterly filing draft — The release, the filing and the IR page go through one approval.

04 Cost

What a Notified alternative costs per year

Notified does not publish prices, so the honest way to compare is line by line against your own invoice. Split the current contract into wire distribution, webcasting and the IR website, because only the website and the IR work move to Issuers.

Issuers costs $17,988 a year on the Public plan billed yearly. That covers the IR website plus the investor CRM, meeting briefs, data rooms, disclosure workflow and earnings preparation. A group with several listed or bond issuing entities needs Enterprise at $47,988 a year billed yearly, which adds a site per entity, SSO and a 99.9 percent SLA. Full detail is on the investor relations software pricing page.

Load the archive into the Issuers IR site, set the page tree and run it through IR, CFO and counsel review.
Step 4

Switch the CNAME

Point ir.yourcompany.com to Issuers between results dates. The certificate is issued automatically.
Step 5

Redirect and close

Add 301 redirects for changed URLs, check the site on the next release, then end the old website line.

Questions

Questions issuers ask before they start

What is a good alternative to Notified for an IR website?

For a US small or mid cap that wants the IR site run by its own team, Issuers is an alternative with a published price: the hosted IR website comes with the Public plan at $1,499 a month billed yearly, together with the investor CRM, disclosure workflow and meeting briefs. If you mainly buy wire distribution and webcasts as one package, a communications suite may still suit you better.

Can we keep GlobeNewswire if we move our IR website?

Yes. The wire and the IR site are separate services, so you can keep your GlobeNewswire or any other wire contract and move only the website. In Issuers the release is drafted and approved in the disclosure workflow, then published on the IR site the moment you send it to the wire. Nothing about your wire account has to change.

How long does it take to move an IR website off Notified?

Plan on two to four weeks for a typical small cap site. Most of that time is collecting the archive of releases, results decks and governance documents, then mapping old URLs to new ones. The technical switch is one CNAME record on your subdomain, and Issuers issues the TLS certificate automatically. Time the cut over between results dates, never in a quiet period week.

How much does a Notified alternative cost?

Notified quotes privately, so the comparison starts from your current invoice. Issuers costs $17,988 a year on the Public plan billed yearly, and that includes the IR website, the investor CRM, meeting briefs, data rooms and the disclosure workflow. Enterprise, at $3,999 a month billed yearly, adds several entities, SSO and custom approval chains.

Do we lose search rankings when we migrate the IR site?

Not if you keep the subdomain and redirect old addresses. Export the list of current URLs before the move, map each to its new page and set permanent 301 redirects for the ones that change. Keep the same subdomain, such as ir.yourcompany.com, so links from analysts, data providers and news sites still resolve on day one.
