If you're wondering how Dialogs Framework compares to other CMSs or development frameworks, the answer is simple. Dialogs Framework is the most efficient and most powerful system for developing websites, web applications, and for server-side data management for mobile apps. Here are one-to-one comparisons of some of today's popular systems.
Dialogs Framework vs. WordPress
Let's start small. WordPress was written for blogging, and over the past few years, people have found ways to squeeze more out of it. Honestly, if all you want to do is write a blog, use WordPress. It's great for that. However, if you are trying to bring your business to the web, WordPress is one frustration after another.
Dialogs Framework is more accessible than WordPress for e-businesses of all sizes. Developers tell us that after working in Dialogs Framework, they dread having to work in WordPress again. Some have told us they refuse projects if a customer insists on WordPress.
We are more affordable for small projects – Dialogs Framework Standard Edition is free (like WordPress) but building in Dialogs Framework is much easier, saving time and money.
On the high end, you can have the publishers of Dialogs Framework support your site or app for just the hourly cost of the work you ask for. Even if you demand fast turnarounds, our maintenance agreements are very affordable. The most you will pay for a service contract is $375 per month (one-hour response, 24/7/365) plus the time spent on your project. At WordPress – their service contracts start at $15,000 per year, and that only gets you a one-day response. A four-hour response will cost you $250,000 annually.

Dialogs Framework vs. Drupal
Drupal is known as a powerful development tool, but it has some significant flaws. Everything you need that is unique to your business will either need to be built from the ground up, or else you will have to rely on pieces of code written by anonymous strangers, leaving your security in question. There is no way to mitigate security risks with Drupal because it's shareware. Even worse, you never know from one day to the next if an update to Drupal will cause your business site to go down.
Not so with Dialogs Framework. The reason we operate as a software publisher is because e-business solutions must be stable and secure. We also pack all the tools you need in Dialogs Framework including a powerful user management system, blog, forum, and ecommerce tools, effective SEO tools, and easy connectivity to social networks. When you build with Dialogs Framework, you're 30% done day one.
Dialogs Framework vs. The World
As you can see, Dialogs Framework offers a lot. Any shareware solution like Drupal, Joomla, Ruby on Rails, or DotNetNuke have security issues, which is a risky trade for open code. And it's not necessary. Although Dialogs Framework is licensed, published software, the source code is open for you to edit and revise if you want. That makes Dialogs Framework the best of both worlds. Plus there is a company that stands behind Dialogs Framework, unlike all the shareware options.
Dialogs Framework is more affordable than all of the overly simple tools like WordPress and ExpressionEngine because we offer a free edition of our software, plus development time and ongoing service is dramatically less.
Dialogs Framework also operates well in the enterprise space at a fraction of the cost.
Give Dialogs Framework a try. You won't look back.
