Is migrating from Magento to Sylius very expensive?

The migration requires an initial investment, but the medium- and long-term savings on licensing, maintenance and development costs make the TCO significantly lower than staying with Magento. A migration project can start at around €40,000, depending on complexity.

What real benefits will I notice after migrating from Magento to Sylius?

You'll notice three things right away: dramatically faster load speeds, a more intuitive admin panel and lower server costs. In the medium term, you'll see that implementing new features is far quicker and more cost-effective.

Can I migrate from Adobe Commerce (Magento Enterprise)?

Yes. In fact, it's one of the most profitable scenarios, since you free yourself from the very high cost of the Adobe Commerce license, which can exceed €50,000 per year.

Which is better, Sylius or Magento?
