On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Paddle is slightly ahead of Attio. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Paddle is clearly ahead of Attio. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Paddle is slightly ahead of Attio.

Attio carries 90 GitHub stars across 19 public repos, with 13 repositories active in the last 90 days and 1 external contributors on record. Paddle shows 997 stars across 54 public repos, 22 active in the last 90 days and 6 external contributors.
