# Is Notified Investor Relations Websites worth it for a public company that needs a full investor relations website builder with integrated press release distribution, or does ACCESS Newswire cover enough for the content distribution side at lower cost?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For a public company that needs the full IR website plus disclosure workflow as the core requirement, I'd pay up for Notified; if the real need is press release distribution with a website bolted on, ACCESS Newswire covers that at a fraction of the cost.</p><ul>
<li>
<strong>Notified Investor Relations Websites</strong> (4.6/5, 79 reviews) has reviewers with real IR titles, a VP of Investor Relations and an FP&amp;A &amp; Investor Relations manager among them, describing a dedicated account manager who handles updates and proactively reaches out before earnings releases. Per G2's own category data, its customer base is concentrated in enterprise and mid-market financial services and biotech. The tradeoff is a dated design flagged in a few reviews and a review pool that hasn't seen much recent activity.</li>
<li>
<strong>ACCESS Newswire</strong> (4.3/5, 409 reviews) is built around press release distribution first, with IR website and disclosure services layered on. Per G2's FAQ, starter pricing runs around $714 and over 75% of its customers are small businesses. Reviewers consistently praise ease of use and reach, though several flag pricing creeping up over time and formatting limitations in the release templates themselves.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">If full IR website management with a dedicated team behind it is the actual requirement, Notified's track record justifies the higher cost. If distribution volume and price predictability matter more than a managed website relationship, ACCESS Newswire's lower entry point covers the core need.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Has anyone started on ACCESS Newswire for distribution and added a dedicated IR site later, or is that combination more painful to stitch together than starting with one vendor for both?</p>

&lt;p&gt;The way I think about it is that Notified is built for IR staff managing disclosure and ACCESS Newswire is built for PR teams distributing releases. They overlap but they&#39;re not really substitutes for each other. A company that needs both functions done properly is probably better off thinking about them as complements rather than picking one and hoping it covers the other&#39;s job.&lt;/p&gt;
