Trends noticed by Google: PrestaShop vs Magento
As can be seen, PrestaShop grows slowly, catching up Magento in terms of popularity. As hosting providers, we have seen a tremendous increase by PrestaShop installations in recent years. PrestaShop initially had very few downloads in the United States.
