On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), IFTTT is ahead of Helpshift. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), IFTTT is slightly ahead of Helpshift. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), IFTTT is clearly ahead of Helpshift. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Helpshift is clearly ahead of IFTTT.

Helpshift carries 570 GitHub stars across 66 public repos, with 2 repositories active in the last 90 days and 1 external contributors on record. IFTTT shows 15,307 stars across 75 public repos, 1 active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors.
