Perk (rank #372) holds a narrow lead over Affinity (rank #536) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (42 vs 36). The gap of 6 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Perk is ahead of Affinity. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Perk is clearly ahead of Affinity. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Affinity is clearly ahead of Perk. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Perk 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. Perk shows 34 stars across 25 public repos, 5 active in the last 90 days and 6 external contributors.
