Frequently asked questions
Find answers to common questions about Hedgehog.
What is Hedgehog?
Hedgehog is an engagement platform for content-driven sites. It provides embeddable widgets and native SDKs that add threaded comments, reactions, and live engagement to any web, iOS, or Android experience.
How does multi-tenancy work?
Every organization's data is strictly isolated and scoped to that organization on every request, so your content is kept completely separate from other customers — providing strong security and privacy guarantees.
Which platforms are supported?
Hedgehog offers SDKs for Web (Vue-powered Web Components plus a typed React 19 adapter), iOS (Swift), and Android (Kotlin). The web widgets use Shadow DOM isolation so they work alongside any frontend framework without style conflicts.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan is permanent, needs no credit card, and includes Web SDK access. See the Plans page for the current limits on each plan.
How do I integrate Hedgehog into my app?
Create a Hedgehog account. While workspace creation is waitlisted you can request a workspace from your dashboard; once it is available, create an organization and copy a widget embed from your dashboard. Every widget takes your organization ID; comments, reactions, and both live widgets also take a stable external content identifier, while notifications and profile are account-scoped. There is no API token to generate: readers sign in through built-in OAuth. A host-managed session can be injected into comments, reactions, notifications, and live widgets; the profile widget uses the shared cached session or its own OAuth sign-in.
Can I self-host Hedgehog?
Hedgehog is a fully hosted service — there is no self-hosted deployment. Enterprise plans can provision and manage organizations programmatically through the control-plane API, and can federate identity so your own system stays the source of truth for who your users are.
What kind of support is available?
Free plan users get community support. Pro plan includes priority email support with a 24-hour response time. Enterprise customers get a dedicated account manager and custom SLA.
How is my data protected?
All data is encrypted in transit via TLS, and every organization's data is strictly isolated and scoped per organization. We follow security best practices including regular audits, strict access controls, and automatic backups.
