Compare — vs Disqus

Why switch from Disqus?

Disqus monetizes your audience with ads and trackers. Awesome Comment is the clean, fast, privacy-first alternative — you keep control.

The problem with Disqus

  • 01Loads 100+ kB of trackers, slows your site and hurts Core Web Vitals.
  • 02Shows ads and affiliate links inside your content.
  • 03Requires readers to create a Disqus account; many bounce.
