Magento has been around for quite some time and is a well-developed framework for eCommerce sites. However, as it is a framework, building your eCommerce site won’t be that easy as compared to the self-hosted BigCommerce platform. BigCommerce can be called as a newly emerging eCommerce platform as compared to Magento but the user experience and ease to use is unmatched. These both have their own set of merits and demerits so it may be a bit difficult for non-technical business owners to make a selection between BigCommerce and Magento.
