Facebook Comments offers the best value if you use Facebook apart from direct shares too. Disqus is excellent as it offers good moderation features with one of them being the need for an account before being able to post comments. It’s the best choice for business bloggers. Livefyre is great for encouraging discussion and which is why CNET, New York Magazine and Hootsuite use it.
