Ahrefs vs Gainsight

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

Ahrefs (rank #401) holds a narrow lead over Gainsight (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 ahead of Gainsight. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Ahrefs is ahead of Gainsight. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Gainsight is slightly ahead of Ahrefs. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Gainsight is slightly ahead of Ahrefs. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Ahrefs is ahead of Gainsight.

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. Gainsight shows 5 stars across 6 public repos, 3 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 260.6x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Ahrefs is the stronger read for anyone weighting code quality. Gainsight looks better where reach 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.
