LMComments is a hosted commenting platform that website owners embed with one <div> and one <script> tag, or install directly via an official WordPress plugin. It ships as a standard Web Component, so it behaves the same on plain HTML sites and inside React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Next.js, and Hugo without extra adapters. Readers can sign in with Google, Discord, or email, then post comments, add reactions, and reply in threads. Site owners get moderation tools out of the box — pre-approval, word and domain filters, spam and duplicate detection, community reports, and bans — plus community features like per-site user levels and badges. The company positions LMComments against ad-supported comment platforms by emphasizing that the widget carries no third-party ads or trackers and does not sell visitor data. A REST API exposes comments, reactions, reports, and users as JSON for developers who want programmatic access, and the site reports over 480,000 comments published on the platform to date.

Pros & Cons
Pros
No ads or third-party trackers embedded in the widget, so page performance and visitor privacy aren't compromised.
Generous free tier (1 site, 10,000 comments/month) with no credit card required, and it doesn't expire.
Ships as a framework-agnostic Web Component plus an official WordPress plugin, covering React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Next.js, and Hugo.
Moderation tools (pre-approval, word/domain filters, spam and duplicate detection, bans) are included starting on the free plan.
Cons
Comment volume is capped by plan (10K/month free, 100K Pro, 1M Business), so high-traffic sites may need to budget for a paid tier.
Webhooks, Slack, and Zapier integrations are listed as 'coming soon,' so deeper workflow automation isn't available yet.
Bulk CSV export of comment data is limited to the top Business plan.
