This is neat. I use disqus on my blog and had never heard of Isso. I'll have to check it out.

Shameless plug: my own alternative to Disqus: https://github.com/adtac/commento

There's also a hosted service I've been building for the past five months, if you don't want to bother with setting up and maintaining servers, but also don't want your readers to be mercilessly tracked by Disqus and their endless tracking partners. It's currently in private beta, but I'd be glad to invite anyone reading this (as a bonus, you'll get a lifetime free subscription for beta testing); shoot me an email (address in profile) :)

There's also Talkyard, which is like Disqus, and open-source, no ads, no tracking. Serverless hosting. Google, Facebook etc login.

Your pricing being cheaper for people in developing countries is interesting. I quite like the idea behind that. A few Euros is practically nothing for me but for some people it's a week's worth of food.
Ok :- ) It's related to the vision & goals: helping people to find ideas & solutions to problems in society. And then it needs to be affordable for people in developing countries too (because maybe that's where there're most problems to solve?).
