External Comments for Confluence
If you're running a publicly visible Confluence instance, allowing visitors to comment/discuss your articles may be price prohibitive (especially if you're a small organization).

External Comments Plugin for Confluence enables external commenting system on your Confluence pages.
Currently, the plugin supports Disqus service only. Depending on interest, we may add support for other commenting systems in the future.
