Ahrefs (rank #401) holds a narrow lead over celigo (rank #536) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (41 vs 36). The gap of 5 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 celigo. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Ahrefs is slightly ahead of celigo. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), celigo is clearly ahead of Ahrefs. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Ahrefs is clearly ahead of celigo.

Ahrefs carries 1,303 GitHub stars across 171 public repos, with 28 repositories active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors on record. celigo shows 43 stars across 26 public repos, 6 active in the last 90 days and 5 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Ahrefs's footprint is roughly 30.3x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.
