Ahrefs (rank #401) holds a narrow lead over Quo (rank #625) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (41 vs 33). The gap of 8 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 Quo. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Ahrefs is ahead of Quo. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Ahrefs is clearly ahead of Quo. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Quo is clearly ahead of Ahrefs. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Ahrefs is clearly ahead of Quo.

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. Quo shows 12 stars across 20 public repos, 2 active in the last 90 days and 0 external contributors.
