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

HubSpot carries 53,481 GitHub stars across 381 public repos, with 35 repositories active in the last 90 days and 4 external contributors on record. Patreon shows 846 stars across 62 public repos, 0 active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors.
