PixiJS vs Babylon.js
Same catalog, two overlapping tools. Catch and verdict side by side. No winner score.
PixiJS
MIT 2D WebGPU/WebGL renderer, not a game engine
OSS/MIT · open-source
The Catch
A renderer, not a game engine. Bring physics, audio, scenes, netcode. If you wanted Phaser, this is the wrong layer.
Verdict
The 2D WebGPU/WebGL renderer. Not Phaser. Not a product.
Babylon.js
Apache-2.0 3D engine for the web, now on v9
Apache-2.0 · open-source
The Catch
Heavier than a 2D starter. docs.babylonjs.com (with an s) has returned 500; working docs host is doc.babylonjs.com. Editor pricing was not verified here, so it is omitted.
Verdict
The open 3D game and rendering engine for the web. Apache-2.0, on v9.
