Compare Bolt CMS vs. PyroCMS 3

Bolt CMS is a lightweight CMS built with the Silex Microframework. It is well built and a great alternative for developers looking for a modern PHP system to replace WordPress, for example.

PyroCMS 3 is a major rewrite of the PHP Content Management system. It is built on the Laravel Framework, which in turn uses many Symfony components at it's core.

• Clean architecture built with Silex, very easy to learn
• Standard components for Forms and Database
• Clean purpose, not trying to solve every problem

• Built on a common framework
• Clean code and modern architecture
• Superb administration interface

• Developer availability compared to WP
• Extensibility for multilingual, etc. depends on extensions
• Limited community size

• Limited adoption a possible liability
• Tight coupling to Laravel Framework limits options
• Multisite and some other commonly needed features missing
