Phalcon vs PHP-MVC: What are the differences?

Developers describe Phalcon as "Web framework delivered as a C-extension for PHP". Phalcon is a web framework implemented as a C extension offering high performance and lower resource consumption. On the other hand, PHP-MVC is detailed as "Simple and easy to understand MVC skeleton application". This project is - by intention - NOT a full framework, it's a bare-bone structure, written in purely native PHP ! The php-mvc skeleton tries to be the extremely slimmed down opposite of big frameworks like Zend2, Symfony or Laravel.

Phalcon and PHP-MVC can be categorized as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

Phalcon and PHP-MVC are both open source tools. Phalcon with 9.74K GitHub stars and 1.78K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than PHP-MVC with 1.25K GitHub stars and 494 GitHub forks.

According to the StackShare community, Phalcon has a broader approval, being mentioned in 28 company stacks & 15 developers stacks; compared to PHP-MVC, which is listed in 11 company stacks and 8 developer stacks.
