Role-Based Access
Assign permissions that match each person's responsibility
Workspace Admins control billing, domains, and team membership. Team Leads manage feedback data, update statuses, and reply to comments, but cannot delete domains or invite new members. Clients can only leave feedback on domains they have been invited to. Each role sees exactly the controls they need, nothing more. This means a client never accidentally changes project settings, and a team lead never needs to worry about billing configuration.
Status Visibility
Show clients only the statuses that matter to them
Your internal team tracks feedback through every stage: open, in progress, blocked, in review, done. Clients see a simplified view with just three statuses: To Do, Review, and Done. This keeps your internal triage process private while still giving clients clear progress updates. When a designer marks something as 'in review,' the client sees it move forward without needing to understand your internal workflow steps.
Access Control
Gate feedback with invite, request, or open access
Each domain has its own access mode. Invite mode restricts commenting to people you have added by email. Request mode lets anyone ask for access, but an admin must approve them first. Open mode allows anyone with the link to comment immediately. Most teams use invite mode for active client projects and request mode for public-facing staging sites. This replaces the guesswork of 'who left this comment?' with verified, controlled participation.
Approval Workflow
Move comments from open to resolved with clear ownership
Every comment tracks its lifecycle through statuses, and threaded replies keep the full decision history attached to each item. When a status changes, Slack and webhook integrations can notify the right people automatically. Your dashboard shows open items across all projects, so you can spot unresolved feedback before it becomes a bottleneck. The result is a repeatable approval process where nothing gets lost between review rounds.

“One of my clients said he really loves Simple Commenter! Much easier to use than the other one I tried (MarkUp). Really loves the simplicity and cleanliness of it!”
“I found Simple Commenter from Reddit (b/c of the MarkUp price change). Its simple, easy to use, and has a good UI. Also emailed the developer with a few suggestions for improvement and he not only responded quickly but also implemented the suggestions shortly thereafter. Highly recommend!”
“Simple, intuitive, needs no browser extensions, client specific access link which means client does not need to signup, and no monthly expenses for small website developers. The clients get great UX and I am able to process their feedback with low friction and stress. I have checked a few others but Simple commenter is perfect for my usecase.”

- What is website comment moderation?
- Website comment moderation is the process of controlling who can leave feedback on your site, what they can see, and how comments move through your review workflow. In Simple Commenter, moderation covers role-based permissions, client access gating, status visibility rules, and spam prevention. You decide who participates and what information they have access to at each stage.
- What roles does Simple Commenter support for moderation?
- Simple Commenter has three user-facing roles. Workspace Admins have full control over billing, domains, members, and settings. Team Leads can manage feedback data but cannot delete domains, handle billing, or add members. Clients can only leave feedback on domains they have been invited to. Each role sees only what is relevant to their responsibilities.
- Can I control which comment statuses clients see?
- Yes. Simple Commenter supports role-based status visibility. Your internal team works with the full set of statuses, while clients see a reduced view limited to To Do, Review, and Done. This keeps internal workflow details like triage and prioritization hidden from external stakeholders.
- How does Simple Commenter prevent spam feedback?
- You control who can comment on each domain using three access modes. Invite mode restricts commenting to people you have explicitly added. Request mode lets new users ask for access, which an admin must approve before they can leave feedback. Open mode allows anyone to comment. Most teams use invite or request mode for client-facing projects.
- How does Simple Commenter pricing compare to other website comment moderation tools?
- Simple Commenter includes moderation controls on all paid plans. Solo ($9/month) supports 2 users and 3 clients per project with full role-based permissions. Pro ($19/month) adds integrations like Slack and webhooks for moderation notifications, plus 3 users. Business ($39/month) includes 25 users and priority support. Many competing tools lock permissions behind enterprise-only pricing.
- Is comment moderation included in the Solo plan?
- Yes. Role-based permissions, client access modes, and status-based visibility are available on every paid plan, including Solo. Solo supports 2 team members and up to 3 clients per project. If you need Slack or webhook notifications when comments are moderated, those are available starting on the Pro plan.
- Can I approve or reject client access requests?
- Yes. When a domain is set to request mode, new users submit an access request before they can leave any feedback. Workspace Admins review these requests from the dashboard and can approve or decline each one. This gives you a gatekeeping step without requiring you to pre-add every client email.
- Does Simple Commenter support approval workflows for comments?
- Yes. Every comment in Simple Commenter can be moved through statuses like To Do, In Progress, Review, and Done. Combined with role-based visibility, this creates a structured approval workflow where clients see progress updates without the noise of internal discussion. Integrations with Slack and webhooks notify your team when statuses change.
