Success Stories

Below you'll find a short subset of our many happy customers and partners. FastComments is integrated with platforms and communities big and small.

USCCA
USCCA needed a platform to seamlessly integrate with their custom CMS to provide live commenting and moderation capabilities. They offer VIP memberships and private discussion features for their members, for which they use FastComments SSO. USCCA was able to get up and running within a month of starting the integration.
Miro
Miro needed a platform to integrate with their web application to add discussion around user-created content. Miro was onboarded and integrated with SSO in production within two months.
Logica
Logica offers a visual, collaborative, financial modeling platform. Their platform provides the ability for users to collaborate on financial models, and as such needed a live commenting solution so users could discuss and tag each other as they work. Additionally, they were able to integrate FastComments Custom HashTags so their users could tag and reference user created content.
Seeconds LLC
Seeconds LLC wanted to add live commenting to their native application. We provided them a custom layout and styling to match their dark-themed native app. They had a working prototype in their native application, with SSO, within a month of signup.
Comikey Media
Comikey Media hosts a community of user-created content. They use FastComments as an integration to provide users the ability to discuss comics and moderate those discussions live.

Codingal provides online coding classes for children. They integrate FastComments as a way to students to collaborate and ask questions on competitions. They utilize FastComments Automatic Code Formatting so their students can easily share and ask for help with programming problems.
SCL Health
SCL Health provides a members-only LAN portal to their internal users, for which they turned to FastComments as an integration partner. They were able to get setup quickly with our Secure SSO integration.
AmazingFacts
AmazingFacts consists of around a dozen separate sites and communities, for which they use FastComments. Using a custom integration with WordPress, they collect a high volume of anonymous comments which are moderated daily with a group of moderators.
I tested out several other systems and they just weren't cutting it. They were either missing functionality that we needed or were too expensive or just not intuitive enough. Honestly what sold it for me was the support. You guys are very responsive to our needs. That's awesome :)
Various TV and News Networks
Various TV and News Networks use FastComments to provide live discussion capabilities to stories as they develop. Some of our customers manage dozens of white labeled news sites under one account with dozens of moderators moderating content in real time.
Various Gaming Sites
Gaming Sites use FastComments to provide a platform where they can award user engagement with tools such as FastComments Badges. Some of these sites have millions of users, with and without SSO.
Webinars
Groupe Papillon Inc is an example of one of our partners that runs periodic live webinars where users may leave hundreds of comments at a time. They were up and running quickly with our WordPress plugin.
Small Blogs
getloaf.io is an example of many blogs that use FastComments to successfully interact with their communities.
It took all of 10 minutes to sign up and integrate FastComments and after hitting the front page of Hacker News multiple times, it held up without a single hitch. Also: support is excellent. The only time I emailed was for a feature request which was fulfilled within a couple weeks!

...and more. Sorry if you don't find this page gorgeous. We're probably busy working on our products and partnerships! Below are some common questions.

Can I cancel myself?

Is there a limit on the number of comment boxes I can have?
FastComments does not bill on the number of comment boxes, or threads, that you may have. There is no limit today, either. We instead bill on traffic and comment volume.
