Compare PyroCMS 3 vs. Grav

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.

Grav is a fresh flat-file database which is easy to install. It uses a number of Symfony components and is very fast to get started with.

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

• Fast to install and get started with
• Extensible via Plugins, Skeletons and Themes
• A fresh codebase, no PHP4 cruft here

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

• Limited use cases due to flat-file approach
• Limited developer base
• Needs more work to round the edges in real-world use
