Why Logora · built for the newsroom
Built for press editorial standards, not generic moderation.
Disqus, Viafoura and OpenWeb were designed for brand communities and ad-supported social. Three structural differences shape what Logora ships first, and what it does for your conversion, retention and reader loyalty.

01 · Editorial
Tuned to your editorial standards.
Othersgeneric toxicity thresholds tuned for retail and social UGC.
Logorathresholds calibrated against publisher editorial standards. Strong political disagreement stays in. Personal attacks don’t.

02 · Sovereignty

OthersUS infrastructure, Schrems II exposure on every reader cookie.
Logorahosted on OVH France, GDPR by construction, DSA Articles 14 / 17 / 24 shipped by default, not as a paid module.

03 · Business model
A conversion and retention asset, not an ad slot.
Othersad inventory inside the widget, reader data resold or programmatically auctioned.
Logoraannual SaaS license, no ads, no resale. The conversation drives registrations, time on site and subscriber loyalty, it never competes with them.
Conversation infrastructure · three modules, one platform
Built for the way newsrooms actually work.
From thread to ballot, every interaction stays inside your ecosystem, your data, your brand. The same product for a national daily and a regional weekly.

Debates
Frame an editorial question, surface the strongest arguments on both sides, give your readers a stake. The anchor format for subscription retention on our reference newsrooms.
See the debates module
New emphasis
Consultations
Beyond for/against: a consultation collects ideas. Readers submit propositions, themed buckets organise them, the strongest surface by vote. Built for elections, year-end specials and public-budget moments.

Case study · Milenio (Mexico)
Before Logora, comments were a leak. Now they’re a registration source.
In two years, Milenio replaced Facebook Comments with Logora. Comments became their fourth biggest source of new sign-ups.
Before · Facebook Comments
- ~60 comments per day
- 60% approval rate
- 1 min 48 average time on site
- Double login, audience leakage to social, no useful moderation
After · Logora
- +150% comments year 1, +100% year 2
- 80–85% approval rate
- 4 min 40 average time for engaged readers
- SSO with Milenio account, hybrid AI + human moderation, locally adapted identity
Logora helped us create a community where there was none, while improving the metrics that matter most time on site, registered loyal readers and helping us prepare for the next step into subscriptions.
