02 Where Issuers differs

Built for the issuers a large cap suite leaves out

Known price, same day start

Choose a plan on the pricing page, pay, and the workspace opens. Yearly billing costs half the monthly price.

Raise, IR and disclosure together

Data rooms, offerings and outreach sit next to the investor relations platform and the disclosure workflow, so a capital raise does not need another vendor.

AI that writes the first draft

Issuer Copilot drafts briefs, scripts and announcements with a source on every figure, and flags potential MNPI before a message leaves.

03 Honest view

When Q4 Inc is the better choice

If you are a large cap that wants one established vendor to host your earnings webcasts, run a large IR website and provide surveillance services with an account team, Q4 is built for that, and its scale in that segment is part of what you buy.

If your board or procurement requires a long track record with large listed companies, or you need webcast hosting from the same vendor as your IR site, Q4 fits better. Issuers does not host webcasts.

If you are a small or mid cap, a bond issuer, a fund or a company before its IPO, and you want CRM, briefs, ownership, disclosure and raises in one tool at a price you can see, Issuers is the closer fit.

04 Switching

How to switch in five steps

  1. Step 1

    Export contacts

    Export investors, contacts and meeting history from your current CRM as CSV.

  2. Step 2

    Import to the CRM

    Import the CSV into the Issuers CRM and map fields once. Interactions keep their dates.

  3. Step 3

    Link your filings

    Add your ticker so ownership snapshots and peer data build from public filings.

  4. Step 4

    Rebuild IR pages

    Create news, results, events and governance pages and upload your document archive.

  5. Step 5

    Point the subdomain

    Switch your IR subdomain when the new pages are ready, then end the old contract at renewal.

Run both in parallel until your next renewal date if your contract allows. See the IR website module and investor relations software pricing.

Questions

Questions issuers ask before they start

What is a good alternative to Q4 Inc?
It depends on what you use Q4 for. If you need IR CRM, meeting briefs, ownership changes, disclosure workflow and an IR website at a known price, Issuers covers that in one workspace from $499 a month billed yearly. If webcast hosting for large earnings events is central, keep a dedicated event provider next to whichever IR tool you choose.
How does Issuers compare with Q4 on pricing?
At the time of writing, Q4 does not publish prices and quotes through its sales team. Issuers publishes every price: Growth $999 a month or $499 billed yearly, Public $2,999 or $1,499 billed yearly, Enterprise $7,999 or $3,999 billed yearly. You can buy any plan from the pricing page.
Can we move our IR website from another provider?
Yes. Build the pages in the IR website module (news, results, events, governance, documents), upload your archive of releases and reports, then point your IR subdomain to Issuers when you are ready. Keep the old site live until the switch so investors never see a gap.
