Alternatives · Logora vs Bodyguard
Logora vs Bodyguard, overlapping but not the same.
Both moderate social-media comments in real time, so publishers compare them. The difference: Bodyguard is a horizontal content-moderation platform for brands, sports, gaming and media. Logora is a conversation platform and moderation for publishers, the on-domain community (comments, debates, consultations) and social-channel moderation in one EU-hosted product. Below, the honest comparison, dimension by dimension.
The TL;DR
Which one for which job.
Pick Logora if
- You are a publisher and want the on-domain community (comments, debates, consultations) and social moderation in one place.
- You want first-party reader accounts and a debate format that drives retention (21% of Der Spiegel subscribers cite debates as a reason to stay).
- You want EU hosting and DSA-grade transparency: every decision journalised and exportable.
- You want moderation that turns conversation into registrations, not just a safe feed.
Pick Bodyguard if
- You need horizontal moderation across many channels and verticals (gaming, brands, sports, social apps), not just publishing.
- Your priority is broad multi-channel content safety and audience insights.
- You do not need an on-domain comment, debate or community product.
- You moderate large volumes of images and UGC beyond news comments.
Not always either/or. A media brand could run Logora for its on-domain community and its social-channel moderation, and a broad horizontal tool elsewhere. If you are a publisher, the question is usually whether you also want the community product, not just moderation.
