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 & 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

  • - better moderation tools - better site performance - email notifications and badges - great support team
  • It has a good interface, and easily integrated onto my website, but read the cons, they far outweighed anything positive.
  • It is easy to integrate this comment platform into a website, but better competing products are just as easy to integrate.
  • It's an excellent tool for any business website. It turns the user into a regular visitor. Easy to implement on websites and gives the opportunity to build a better community.
  • - It is literally so easy to use Disqus. You don't even have to go through the annoying login options. It is also quite simple to set up in your site.

Cons

  • - still a bit clunky - engagement is hit or miss
  • Firstly, I'm not a business, I just have a simple website, and relative to other comment platforms out there, it's expensive. The next thing is security-or should I say lack thereof - they definitely use/sell your data for marketing purposes, although it's well hidden. And quite possibly the worst thing of all, the biggest nail in the coffin, is right now, and at least for the last eight months, they offer zero customer support, I'm not kidding, they will not process any customer support tickets, what kind of company makes millions of dollars a year, and has no customer support? A ripoff one. I advise avoiding this company like the plague.
  • Extremely opaque about how they harvest data and resell it to 3rd parties. VERY confusing to users to see this and the associated T&C and opt-outs. Anonymous posting is possible, but requires the user providing an email address (again, very confusing to users).
  • Overall it's an outstanding platform for community development.
  • - Disqus used to be free but they started putting ads on their basic version all of a sudden without telling anyone. The pricing model is quite prohibitory for simple blogs that don't earn much.
