    Lyket is more about buttons then commenting. So if you need to just add like or clap buttons it is better than Disqus reactions.

    Spirit is meant to be a standalone discussion forum. Unlike Disqus, it cannot be embedded into other sites.

    A forum, not a comment system. Can't be embedded.

    Many websites contain secret messages and comments. Imagine you could make these messages visible or even add your own. Now imagine that this function would exist everywhere and only the users themselves would have control over it. Wouldn't that be great?
