Dropbox vs Webflow

Dropbox and Webflow (Webflow is the way to design, build, and launch powerful websites visually - without coding.) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Webflow (rank #122) holds a narrow lead over Dropbox (rank #257) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (54 vs 47). The gap of 7 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), Dropbox is slightly ahead of Webflow. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Webflow is clearly ahead of Dropbox. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Dropbox is ahead of Webflow. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Webflow is ahead of Dropbox. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Dropbox is ahead of Webflow.

Dropbox carries 61,045 GitHub stars across 247 public repos, with 29 repositories active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors on record. Webflow shows 735 stars across 52 public repos, 9 active in the last 90 days and 16 external contributors.
