Mattermost (rank #39) holds a meaningful lead over IFTTT (rank #430) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (62 vs 40). The gap of 22 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), IFTTT is slightly ahead of Mattermost. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Mattermost is ahead of IFTTT. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Mattermost is clearly ahead of IFTTT. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Mattermost 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. Mattermost shows 49,882 stars across 262 public repos, 58 active in the last 90 days and 105 external contributors.
