*Parameters by which you can determine that your site is non-commercial
If your site has advertising or affiliate links, sells products or services, solicits donations or sponsorships, or is in any way related to a business or educational organization — your site is considered commercial.

Akismet is definitely better if You don't have $0.66 per month, You have a small blog on WordPress without followers.
