Compare PyroCMS 3 vs. Craft CMS

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.

Craft CMS is a new player in the PHP CMS field. It does not use Symfony components, but is a popular and more modern option for WordPress.

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

• Superb usability
• Focus on content management
• Clean code base

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

• Limited adoption
• Not a part of a larger ecosystem (like Symfony)
• Coding style is a bit old school PHP
