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!

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.
