Semrush (rank #317) holds a narrow lead over Pinterest (rank #430) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (44 vs 40). The gap of 4 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Semrush is ahead of Pinterest. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Pinterest is ahead of Semrush. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Semrush is ahead of Pinterest. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Pinterest is slightly ahead of Semrush.

Pinterest carries 30,737 GitHub stars across 98 public repos, with 37 repositories active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors on record. Semrush shows 454 stars across 11 public repos, 2 active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors.
