Our plans FAQ

1. What is the difference between Pro and Basic plan?

The main differences between Pro and Basic plan:

Whitelabel: option to remove our copyright and logos;
Badge customization - the ability to upload your own graphics and text descriptions for awards;
SSO - Single Sign-On. (Your registered users will be able to write comments in Tolstoy Comments without additional registration);
Priority support, personal manager;
Additional moderators;
Comment monetization. You will be able to install your ad network code inside the widget.

2. What's included in Enterprise?

All PRO rate options are included. Plus we manually assist you in building a live community of loyal site users. Such cooperation implies:

Technical preparation of the site. Setting up new entry points to start communication, designating the importance of commenting and commenters. (The site counters are audited beforehand);
Working with the newsrooms. Advising and developing a content plan for community outreach.

For more details, please contact support. Prices for the Enterprise tariff are calculated depending on the tasks and scale of the editorial team (from $500/mo).

3. I don't want to deal with the API. Can you customize everything (widgets, comment counters, buttons, indexing, SSO) for me?

Such services are provided on the Enterprise tariff. Contact our support team.

4. Do subdomains count as a separate site?

Нет, не считаются. Но только в том случае, если на всех поддоменах будет один и тот же виджет комментирования. Если поддомены подразумевают никак не связанные между собой виджеты, они считаются за отдельные сайты.

5. What will happen to the comments when we stop paying for the widget?

When the license is not paid, you will not be able to moderate comments and change site settings. I.e. if someone writes something obscene or offensive on your site, and you need to edit or delete this message, you will not be able to do it. The comments themselves will not disappear and your users will be able to continue using the widget. You can export comments written in Tolstoy Comments to an xml file only while any paid tariff is in effect.

6. Do you have an affiliate program?

What about it?! The affiliate program section inside the admin panel contains your referral link, which you need to send to a friend or share in your Facebook. If someone registers using this link and pays for a license, we will immediately pay you 20% of this payment*. Learn more.

Rating is the level of popularity of the website's commentators. To be at the top of the rankings, you need to write witty, interesting and a lot. Our mission is to regain the reputation on the Internet.

Badges/awards

It seems that we were the first to come up with the idea of rewarding users for comments. There are more than 150 badges in the system to reward users for different types of activity. For example, if you have written the best comment in a thread, you get a badge. Some of the awards are given automatically, some are given by moderators. You can create author's sets of awards for your users.

A cool commenting service with a well-thought-out presentation: cool dialogues in examples, a cool idea with gamification and stylish badges. More suitable for blogs, media, webinar platforms and anything else where a large number of diverse commenters gather. A bet on community, in short.

Whats the common bond between Pikabu, vc.ru, Habr and Kinopoisk? 😏 These are all sites with incredible user communities. UGC plays a crucial role on these sites. Would you like to do the same? (It'll be weird if you don't). Today we're going to talk about a startup called Tolstoy Comments. It's a system for building communities around websites.
