Yoast (rank #209) holds a modest lead over Crisp (rank #430) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (49 vs 40). The gap of 9 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Yoast is ahead of Crisp. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Yoast is ahead of Crisp. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Yoast is clearly ahead of Crisp.

Crisp carries 506 GitHub stars across 27 public repos, with 12 repositories active in the last 90 days and 0 external contributors on record. Yoast shows 3,439 stars across 78 public repos, 12 active in the last 90 days and 21 external contributors.
