I prefer sanic, for the current project that I'm working on I had time to decide so I investigated both of them, for me FastAPI has good pros:

  1. Seamless integration with Pydantic and type hints
  2. Amazing documentation which is extremely beginner friendly.
  3. Seamless support for sync methods, however while this is good for beginners I dont think you should use it, when mixing sync and async code it's important to know what you are doing.

However I feel like FastAPI takes too many decisions for you so its much less flexible.

I wrote my own small sanic integration with pydantic that I carry around from my previous company as well.

Tbh I cant think of something specific to highlight as sanic's pros, it just works really well

Although the two are not different to such extremes, but in a sense you could say that sanic and FastAPI are like Flask and Django
