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

PostHog carries 40,775 GitHub stars across 357 public repos, with 87 repositories active in the last 90 days and 212 external contributors on record.
