Pick Express.js when

Node.js REST APIs and backends
Teams wanting full architectural control
Zero-budget prototypes and MVPs
Beginners . biggest tutorial base

When Express.js is not a fit

Teams wanting batteries-included structure or opinions
Buyers needing vendor support or SLAs . nothing to buy
Performance-critical APIs where Fastify/Hono benchmark higher
Non-technical buyers: this is a dev tool, not deployable software
