About

Commento allows you to foster discussion on your website – if you have a blog, you can embed Commento if you want your readers to add comments. It's fast and bloat-free, has a modern interface, and is reasonably secure. Unlike most alternatives, Commento is lightweight and privacy-focused; I'll never sell your data, show ads, embed third-party tracking scripts, or inject affiliate links. Commento comes with a lot of useful features out-of-the-box: rich text support, upvotes and downvotes, automatic spam detection, moderation tools, sticky comments, thread locking, OAuth login, email notifications, and more!

About

Discourse is a secure and customizable platform for building online communities.

The platform supports real time conversation, long form discussion, advanced moderation, and automation. Features like trust levels, user roles, and granular permissions make it easy to scale with confidence. Discourse is used by leading companies, public institutions, and open communities. Whether hosted by your team or through our managed offering, it is built to integrate into your stack and evolve with your needs.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • - I like that Commento looks very simple and lightweight on the website. It has a much cleaner UI compared to something like Disqus.

Cons

  • - $99 per year is quite expensive for all those blogs that haven't started making revenue yet.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Simple and clean user interface Open Source Excellent notification feature Security features - Single Sign On, Spam filter, 2FA Plugin support Trust level & badge system Mobile-support ready

Cons

  • Full feature set plans are costly, there should be more tiers for small scale usage.
