Researched and written by Gauri Pawsey

Commenting systems, also called commenting platforms, add commenting functionality to websites (such as blogs and news sites) that post content. Commenting capabilities engage an audience, making content more memorable and more likely to be shared. Comments are also an easy metric by which content creators can measure the performance of their work and how well it is received. Comment systems can be implemented by any content creator looking to engage their audience, from bloggers to artists to journalists and beyond.

A staple of any commenting system is a text comment box where users can generate their own comments and leave them on a specific piece of content. However, some comment platforms also feature "reaction" functionality. Most commenting systems can be implemented over any website while others are website-specific plugins.

To qualify for inclusion within the Commenting System category, a product must:

Allow users to engage with posted content via comments or reactions
Provide moderation tools
Gather insights about users engaging with content
