IFTTT vs Salesforce

IFTTT (Automations for business and home. 1,000+ of your favorite apps, services and devices. Save time and get more done.) and Salesforce (Noteworthy Open Source projects made available by Salesforce. Available under Open Source or Creative Commons licensing. No warranty or support implied) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Salesforce (rank #82) holds a modest lead over IFTTT (rank #430) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (57 vs 40). The gap of 17 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), Salesforce is ahead of IFTTT. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), IFTTT is slightly ahead of Salesforce. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Salesforce is clearly ahead of IFTTT. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), IFTTT is ahead of Salesforce. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Salesforce 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. Salesforce shows 68,892 stars across 417 public repos, 75 active in the last 90 days and 6 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Salesforce's footprint is roughly 4.5x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

IFTTT is the stronger read for anyone weighting reach. Salesforce 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.
