IFTTT vs Increase

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

IFTTT (Automations for business and home. 1,000+ of your favorite apps, services and devices. Save time and get more done.) and Increase (Build your bank) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Increase (rank #55) holds a modest lead over IFTTT (rank #430) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (60 vs 40). The gap of 20 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

IFTTT carries 15,307 GitHub stars across 75 public repos, with 1 repositories active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors on record. Increase shows 45 stars across 12 public repos, 11 active in the last 90 days and 5 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but IFTTT's footprint is roughly 340.2x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

IFTTT is the stronger read for anyone weighting education. Increase looks better where momentum 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.
