TrollWall AI alternative: how OpenModeration compares
TrollWall AI hides toxic comments on the social media accounts of brands, clubs and media. OpenModeration moderates those networks too, and the comments under your articles as well. It publishes its prices, hosts data in the EU and gives a written reason for every decision. Here are the differences, with sources.
Choose OpenModeration if…
- your readers comment on your website as well as on your social accounts;
- you want to test for free on your own comments before committing;
- you need to explain every removal and keep a DSA audit trail;
- your data has to stay in the European Union.
TrollWall AI may suit you better if…
- you only moderate social media and prefer a price per account;
- you want AI-suggested replies in the same tool as moderation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to TrollWall AI?
It depends on where your comments live. If your readers comment on your website as well as on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, OpenModeration handles both in one place, with public prices and a written reason for every decision. If you only moderate social media accounts and prefer a price per account, TrollWall AI fits that model.
How much does TrollWall AI cost?
TrollWall AI does not publish amounts. Its pricing page describes a monthly price per social media account, a Starter plan from 1,000 comments per month, free trials and discounts for annual billing. OpenModeration is free up to 1,000 comments analysed per month, and costs €99 per month for 10,000 on the Pro plan.
Can I test OpenModeration without switching off TrollWall AI?
Yes. In sandbox mode, OpenModeration analyses your real comments without hiding or deleting anything. You keep TrollWall AI running and compare the two sets of decisions, comment by comment, before you change anything.
Does OpenModeration also moderate the comments on our articles?
Yes. Publishers connect WordPress directly, or send comments from any other system through the REST API. The AI reads each comment together with the article title and the discussion thread, so a quote or a reply is judged in context.
