If you’re looking for a WordPress theme, there are many companies you will find on the web such as MyThemeShop, ThemeForest, Themify, Magazine3, and more. Other than this, the Thesis and Genesis framework is also a good option. In this article, I’m comparing two theme-developing companies – MyThemeShop and Magazine3.

I tried the themes of both of these companies. Currently, I have a total of 3 premium themes from MyThemeShop and 1 theme from Magazine3.

Recently a few weeks ago, I purchased a WordPress theme by Magazine3 because I loved the design but honestly, I felt lots of problems while dealing with a Magazine3 theme. You would be thinking WHY? Let me tell you everything!

MyThemeShop VS Magazine3 – The Untold Comparison

Magazine3 VS MyThemShop

In this post, I’m sharing my experience with both of these companies. So, first of all, I would share my experience with MyThemeShop.

My Experience with MyThemeShop

MyThemeShop is widely popular and my favorite platform for very flexible and search-engine-optimized WordPress themes. I purchased 3 premium WordPress themes from MyThemeShop and used them on my blog but honestly, I was looking for something different. But, finally, I found my dream theme on Magazine3 and purchased it.

One of the best things I liked about MyThemeShop is their support. However they have separate supports for free and premium customers, but they don’t have any discrimination in providing support, as I myself experienced it. This was one of the best reasons I had been using their free theme for more than 2 years on this blog.

Why Purchase MyThemeShop Themes:

  • Ultra Responsive Designs
  • Very Quick Support From Very Skilled Staff
  • Industry-Leading Options Panel
  • Narrated Videos Tutorials
  • Free Shortcodes with All Themes
  • Customize the Look & Design of Your Theme
  • Unlimited Background Options
  • Great In-Built Ad Management
  • 600+ Google Fonts To Use In Your Theme
  • Themes are Compatible With All Major Browsers
  • Easy-to-use built-in Social Sharing Buttons
  • Designed with Fast Loading Scripts
  • Clean & Lightweight Code
  • Themes & Plugins are Search Engine Optimized
  • Many More…

Why Not:

I don’t know any special demerit of MyThemeShop themes except the PRICE. Yes, the pricing is the only thing that can hurt you a little. A single MyThemeShop theme will cost you $69.

Here’s My Experience With Magazine3

However, I’m not a very old customer of Magazine3 but still recently I purchased a theme from here. I liked the theme on Magazine3 last month and instantly purchased it for this blog. But, the only problem I felt with MyThemeShop was the bad support. Bad in the sense, that they took lots of time to reply a little question. But, now it’s okay and they’re replying well.

Why to Use Magazine3 Theme:

  • Responsive Designs (But less powerful than MyThemeShop)
  • Options Panel (But not as feature-rich as MyThemeShop)
  • Customize the Fonts and Links of the Website
  • Great Built-in Ad Management
  • Easy-to-use built-in Social Sharing Buttons
  • Clean & Lightweight Code
  • And More…

Why Not:

  • High Price
  • Slow Support
  • Responsiveness is Not that Better as Compared to MyThemeShop
  • Shortcode Feature is available as it is in MyThemeShop (You will have to install a plugin for this).

The Verdict

Above I shared my experiences with both of these WordPress theme makers and I’m sure you would be thinking to buy a MyThemeShop theme because I appreciated that a lot as compared to Magazine3, and that’s true. So, the fact says MyThemeShop is the best company for buying a theme.

But, still, I’m using a Magazine3 theme because I really love that. However, I felt problems with their support staff and responsiveness, so most of these issues I fixed myself (as I’m a little coder in PHP), and some problems are solved by the Magazine3 support staff.

Other than this, I can also say the Magazine3 support staff is well-skilled because they guys need only a single reply to solve my problems however that single reply takes time.. 😉

    • Of course I’m using Magazine3 theme but I made lots of changes to it, and honestly it was not fully responsive and I made it by making lots of changes in its theme files.

      Magazine3 customer is worst and I experienced it. They guys clearly said that “we can’t provide customization service to our customers as we don’t have sufficient people in our team”.

      And this is the reason why I’m in the favor of MyThemeShop.

      In the above article I shared my experiences with both of these companies. Please read that out carefully.
