IFTTT vs Smartsheet

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 Smartsheet (Opensource SDKs for the Smartsheet collaborative work management platform) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Smartsheet (rank #338) holds a narrow lead over IFTTT (rank #430) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (43 vs 40). The gap of 3 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), IFTTT is slightly ahead of Smartsheet. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Smartsheet is ahead of IFTTT. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Smartsheet is slightly ahead of IFTTT. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), IFTTT is clearly ahead of Smartsheet. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Smartsheet 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. Smartsheet shows 150 stars across 11 public repos, 8 active in the last 90 days and 15 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but IFTTT's footprint is roughly 102.0x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

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