About

Disqus is the leading audience engagement platform for publishers, providing comment hosting, community management, and monetization tools that power conversations across hundreds of thousands of websites. Founded in 2007 by Daniel Ha and Jason Yan as a Y Combinator startup, the platform launched on October 30, 2007 and grew to serve 75% of websites using third-party commenting systems by 2011. Disqus enables publishers to engage and understand their audiences through first-party data, build loyal communities, moderate conversations with AI-powered tools, and monetize traffic through direct supply partnerships. Acquired by Zeta Global in 2017, Disqus continues to operate as an ad-supported freemium platform with subscription plans for ad-free and advanced features.
