IFTTT and MailerLite sit at essentially the same overall ecosystem score (40), which is unusual and worth reading through the pillars below.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), MailerLite is slightly ahead of IFTTT. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), IFTTT is ahead of MailerLite. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), IFTTT is slightly ahead of MailerLite. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), IFTTT is clearly ahead of MailerLite. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), MailerLite 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. MailerLite shows 1,134 stars across 39 public repos, 25 active in the last 90 days and 3 external contributors.
