Ahrefs vs Cloudbeds

Ahrefs (BTW we use OCaml) and Cloudbeds both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Ahrefs (rank #401) holds a modest lead over Cloudbeds (rank #727) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (41 vs 30). The gap of 11 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

Ahrefs carries 1,305 GitHub stars across 173 public repos, with 28 repositories active in the last 90 days and 6 external contributors on record. Cloudbeds shows 49 stars across 29 public repos, 9 active in the last 90 days and 3 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Ahrefs's footprint is roughly 26.6x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Ahrefs is the stronger read for anyone weighting momentum. Cloudbeds looks better where education is the deciding factor. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
