About
Utterances is a lightweight comments widget that uses GitHub Issues as the backing store for site comments. It matches a page by URL, pathname, or title, then uses the GitHub Issues search API to find or create the associated issue when a visitor comments.
The service is aimed at developers who want comments on blogs, documentation, wiki pages, or similar sites without running a separate comment database. It is open source, has no tracking or ads, stores all data in GitHub issues, and includes a dark theme plus a lightweight TypeScript implementation.

Free Tier Value

Because it is perpetual and uncapped on the page, it scores as an unbounded free tier with full feature parity for the purposes of this signal.
