Similar
- Both are community managed free and open source web applications with a powerful wiki.
- Both support Wiki markup. Please see (if) Why Wiki Syntax Is Important to your project.
Different
- MoinMoin uses files for storage whereas Tiki uses the MySQL database. In future versions, MoinMoin will have a DB storage option.
- MoinMoin is in Python whereas Tiki is in PHP.
- MoinMoin is focused on being a great Wiki (which it is!), whereas Tiki is more of an out-of-the box Content Management System / general purpose wiki with all the features built-in. Because of these design choices, Tiki has more features out-of-the-box. MoinMoin doesn't offer forums, bug tracker, blogs, etc
- MoinMoin is GPL, Tiki is LGPL. The main difference between the GPL and the LGPL is that the latter can be linked to (in the case of a library, 'used by') a non-(L)GPLed program, which may be free software or proprietary software.
