Choose Commsor if
- B2B teams whose best deals come from introductions
Choose Discourse if
- Large communities with few moderators — members are unlimited, staff seats are the cost
- Teams that want the option to self-host later; the software is open source
Where each one disappoints
Commsor
- Consumer communities — the model assumes B2B networks
- Anyone comparing on price before a sales conversation
Discourse
- Small teams needing SSO — it sits on the $500 tier
