A full export
Hyvor Talk exports everything as JSON, and comments in WordPress's format. Disfora has no export yet: webhooks send each new comment to your server as it's posted instead.
A Hyvor Talk alternative that doesn't count your page views.
Hyvor Talk has no free plan, and its price rises with every page view that loads your comments. Disfora renders in your page the same way, and is free for one site whatever your traffic.

Why people look beyond Hyvor Talk
Hyvor Talk is a good, privacy-focused comment system from Paris. It renders in your page, has no ads, and does more than comments: ratings, memberships and a newsletter.
It's priced in credits, and every page view that loads the comments uses one. The cheapest plan, €5 a month billed yearly, covers 2,500 a month, about 80 page views a day. Spam checks use credits too, and after two months in a row over the limit, comments are switched off until the next month or an upgrade.
Removing the Hyvor Talk branding, and letting readers use your site's own accounts, both need the Business plan, from €40 a month.
Disfora is priced by sites, not traffic. Comments, page views, votes and form submissions are unlimited on every plan, including the free one, so a post that takes off doesn't change your bill.

What Hyvor Talk costs as your traffic grows
Assuming every page view loads the comments, which is how Hyvor Talk counts a credit.
| Page views a month | Disfora | Hyvor Talk |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | $0 for one site. $5 a month for three, unbranded | €12 a month on Premium (€10 billed yearly), as Personal's €5 covers only 2,500 |
| 100,000 | $0 for one site. $5 a month for three, unbranded | €12 a month on Premium, with no room left for comment counts or spam checks. The next step up, 500,000, is €35 |
| 1,000,000 | $0 for one site. $5 a month for three, unbranded | €65 a month on Premium (€54 billed yearly), or €135 on Business to remove Hyvor Talk's branding |
Hyvor Talk also counts half a credit for each comment count shown, and 10 or 20 credits for each spam check beyond the free allowance of 1,000 per 100,000 credits. Personal is billed yearly only. Prices are in euros, from Hyvor Talk's pricing. Disfora has no page view, comment or vote limits on any plan.
What Hyvor Talk does that Disfora doesn't
Memberships and a newsletter
Readers can pay for a membership through Stripe to unlock gated posts, and sign up to your newsletter from the comment section. Disfora has neither.
Single sign-on and 30 languages
On Business, readers can comment with your site's own accounts, and the widget comes in more than 30 languages. Disfora readers sign in with Google or an email code, and the widget is in English and Spanish.

Your old comments
Disfora imports WordPress exports, and Hyvor Talk can export comments in WordPress's XML format, but we haven't tested a Hyvor Talk file yet. Upload it under Import comments in your project's settings: a file Disfora can't read is turned away before anything is imported.
If your comments don't come across, tell us: it decides which importers we build next. Keep the JSON export either way.
Keep your own copy from day one
Webhooks send every comment to your own server as it's posted, edited or deleted, as signed JSON. They're on the free plan, so your comments don't have to live only in someone else's database.
