CommentGate vs commentguard.io
Two products from two companies, with similar names. Both hide comments on Facebook and Instagram posts and ads. Here is where they differ.
The short version
commentguard.io is a focused Facebook and Instagram tool with an inbox for comments and direct messages, priced by how many comments you receive. If you only run Meta ads and your volume is steady, it does the job.
CommentGate is for stores that also sell on TikTok, YouTube or Threads, whose comments spike when ad spend goes up, and who want moderation to keep running on the busiest day of the month instead of stopping at a cap.

Fair to both
Where commentguard.io is stronger
No ad account to connect
Ad comments come in through the Page alone. CommentGate asks for the ad account too, so it can tell you which ad a comment came from.
Reply automations with variations
Keyword automations can rotate several reply variations and wait a random delay before posting, so repeated answers look less canned.
Where CommentGate fits better
TikTok, YouTube and Threads
Spark Ads, in-feed ads and TikTok posts, YouTube channels, and Threads posts and ads, in the same list as Facebook and Instagram.
Never stops at your plan
Past your plan, moderation keeps running at $2.50 per 1,000 comments. Set a monthly cap if you want a ceiling.
Rules per post and per ad
Stricter on a launch ad than on your evergreen posts, without a second account.
A 7-day trial
Two full weeks, long enough to see a real ad cycle, with no card.
Prices at three volumes
What a month costs a store receiving 5,000, 25,000 or 100,000 comments on its posts and ads.

|---|---|---|

Questions
Are CommentGate and commentguard.io the same company?
No. They are separate products from separate companies. CommentGate is not affiliated with commentguard.io.
Can I move from commentguard.io without a gap?
Yes. Connect your Pages and ad accounts to CommentGate, paste in your keyword lists and keyword replies (each reply waits as a draft until you turn it on), check the first day of decisions, then cancel the other plan. The last 30 days of comments come in when you connect.
What happens on a month with a viral ad?
CommentGate keeps moderating and charges $2.50 per 1,000 comments past your plan, or stops charging at a cap you set. commentguard.io stops processing at the plan limit until you upgrade or the month resets.
