Compared to Disqus, Cusdis is not designed as a full alternative. It aims to implement a minimalist embedded comment tool for small sites like your static blog.
Here are the pros and cons of Cusdis:
- Cusdis is open-source and self-hostable, meaning you own your data.
- The SDK is lightweight (~5kb gzipped).
- Cusdis does not require commenters to sign in, and does not use cookies at all.
- Cusdis is in the early stages of development.
- You have to manually moderate comments which are not displayed by default until you approve them, since there is no spam filter.
- Disqus is a company, whereas Cusdis is not.
