Magento vs WooCommerce
A side by side look at reach, regional footprint and where each ecommerce technology actually wins, built from live detections across millions of websites.
The short version. WooCommerce has roughly 77x more sites overall (74.6K vs 5.8M). But the split flips by market: Magento over-indexes in Ukraine, Slovenia and Denmark, while WooCommerce runs the majority in Iran, Turkey and Colombia. Which one fits depends far more on your market than on raw totals.
