Stream (rank #317) holds a modest lead over Zoho (rank #662) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (44 vs 32). The gap of 12 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

Stream carries 35,664 GitHub stars across 487 public repos, with 84 repositories active in the last 90 days and 44 external contributors on record. Zoho shows 756 stars across 244 public repos, 55 active in the last 90 days and 1 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Stream's footprint is roughly 47.2x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.
