CommentGate lets site owners require a one-time payment through Stripe or PayPal before visitors can leave comments. After payment, the comment form unlocks for that user. It supports global settings with per-post overrides, flexible pricing, and works on any post type. Ideal for paid communities, expert Q&A, and premium discussion areas.
CommentGate sits in PulseGate's Business & Operations category. It focuses on monetizing comment access on blog posts, Q&A sections, or community areas without custom development. CommentGate is a B2B2C product aimed at publishers and community site owners. There is a free tier. CommentGate is available on the web and the command line, and it can be self-hosted.
Dhruv Pandya builds and maintains CommentGate, and the product first shipped in 2026. Among its 6 catalogued features are Paid Comments, Stripe Integration, and PayPal Integration.
