Ahrefs (rank #401) holds a modest lead over Agorapulse (rank #662) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (41 vs 32). The gap of 9 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), Ahrefs is slightly ahead of Agorapulse. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Ahrefs is clearly ahead of Agorapulse. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Ahrefs is ahead of Agorapulse. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Agorapulse is clearly ahead of Ahrefs. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Ahrefs is clearly ahead of Agorapulse.

Agorapulse carries 308 GitHub stars across 80 public repos, with 16 repositories active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors on record. Ahrefs shows 1,303 stars across 171 public repos, 28 active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors.
