Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

FastAPI

  • Licensed under the MIT License per fastapi.tiangolo.com; as open source software it has no paid tier or vendor price to compare
  • FastAPI depends entirely on Starlette for its web layer and Pydantic for validation, per its own documentation, so it is not a standalone framework and inherits both dependencies' constraints

Nuxt

  • Requires a Vue.js application structure; it is not usable as a standalone framework independent of Vue, per nuxt.com's own description of the project.
