Heap vs InVision

Developer ecosystem comparison across GitHub activity, SDKs, documentation, community, reach and momentum.

Heap (Product Insights) and InVision both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

InVision (rank #430) holds a narrow lead over Heap (rank #569) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (40 vs 35). The gap of 5 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), InVision is ahead of Heap. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), InVision is slightly ahead of Heap. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), InVision is ahead of Heap. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Heap is ahead of InVision.

Heap carries 215 GitHub stars across 65 public repos, with 6 repositories active in the last 90 days and 1 external contributors on record. InVision shows 1,303 stars across 114 public repos, 0 active in the last 90 days and 0 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but InVision's footprint is roughly 6.1x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Heap is the stronger read for anyone weighting momentum. InVision looks better where code quality is the deciding factor. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
