Intuit (rank #237) holds a narrow lead over Ahrefs (rank #401) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (48 vs 41). The gap of 7 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

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. Intuit shows 18,182 stars across 150 public repos, 27 active in the last 90 days and 40 external contributors.
