Laravel is described as 'Web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We’ve already laid the foundation — freeing you to create without sweating the small things' and is a popular Web Framework in the development category. There are more than 25 alternatives to Laravel for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Self-Hosted and Web-based apps. The best Laravel alternative is Django, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Laravel are Ruby on Rails, Symfony, CodeIgniter and ASP.NET.
This is not an MVC framework.
