On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Metabase is clearly ahead of Affinity.

Affinity carries 4 GitHub stars across 40 public repos, with 1 repositories active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors on record. Metabase shows 50,225 stars across 100 public repos, 21 active in the last 90 days and 49 external contributors.
