Ahrefs (rank #401) holds a modest lead over Vidyard (rank #693) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (41 vs 31). The gap of 10 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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. Vidyard shows 20 stars across 29 public repos, 3 active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors.
