Should I use Laravel or WordPress for my project?

WordPress fits content websites: blogs, marketing sites, brochure sites, news sites, basic eCommerce up to roughly 1,000 products, and membership communities. Laravel fits custom applications: SaaS products, multi tenant platforms, fintech, healthcare, marketplaces, large eCommerce, internal business systems, and anything with significant custom business logic. The deciding question is whether you are publishing content (WordPress wins) or building an application (Laravel wins). Hybrid setups using WordPress for marketing and Laravel for the application backend are common and often the right answer.
