On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Patreon is ahead of Quo. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Patreon is ahead of Quo. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Quo is clearly ahead of Patreon.

Patreon shows 846 stars across 62 public repos, 0 active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors.
