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

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

Heap carries 215 GitHub stars across 65 public repos, with 6 repositories active in the last 90 days and 1 external contributors on record. segment shows 0 stars across 0 public repos, 0 active in the last 90 days and 0 external contributors.
