EchoThread
Privacy-first comments with built-in AI spam filtering
EchoThread is a privacy-first Disqus alternative for blogs, docs, and small publishers. Its first-party ML filter catches AI-generated comment spam as it lands. It features optional no-account commenting, threaded replies, reactions, and moderation tools. Includes one-click Disqus or WordPress import, full export, and a free-forever Hobby tier.
Hey Product Hunt - I built EchoThread because the comment tools I tried all seemed to make me choose between privacy, page speed, and actual spam control.
The problem that pushed this over the edge was AI-generated comment spam: fluent, vaguely on-topic replies that sail past keyword filters and turn moderation into busywork.
EchoThread is a hosted, privacy-first Disqus alternative for blogs, docs sites, and small publishers. The core difference is Siftfy, our first-party ML filter that scores comments as they land.
What is included:
- Threaded comments, reactions, image uploads, link previews, and formatting
- Passkey, Google, GitHub, or guest commenting
- Moderation dashboard with built-in spam review
- One-click import from Disqus or WordPress
- Full JSON/CSV export so you are not locked in
- About 37 KB gzipped, with no ads and no third-party tracking
- Free-forever Hobby tier, no credit card
I am especially looking for feedback from people who run blogs, docs sites, static sites, or WordPress sites with comment sections. What is the spam pattern that your current setup still misses?
