Prestashop

1 – Simple architecture and powerful platform .

2 – Less community support cos prestashop is not as popular as magento . Market place of the prestashop is not good , most of the modules are paid and they dont allow developers to put any module . They only allow modules which they like . That is most pathetic part .

4 – Prestashop is less resource hungry but less functional as compare to magento .

5 – loosely MVC based platform .

From developer point of view we’ll strongly recommend for magento  also from user point of view magento is more useful and feature rich + community and market place is brilliant . You’ll get almost every answer of your questions or problems from magento community or from developers forums .
