Razorpay vs Semrush

Developer ecosystem comparison across GitHub activity, SDKs, documentation, community, reach and momentum.

Razorpay and Semrush (We do love open source and have an opportunity to make it better from now.) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Razorpay (rank #30) holds a modest lead over Semrush (rank #317) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (63 vs 44). The gap of 19 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), Razorpay is clearly ahead of Semrush. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Semrush is ahead of Razorpay. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Razorpay is slightly ahead of Semrush. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Razorpay is clearly ahead of Semrush. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Razorpay is clearly ahead of Semrush.

Razorpay carries 3,811 GitHub stars across 177 public repos, with 38 repositories active in the last 90 days and 32 external contributors on record. Semrush shows 454 stars across 11 public repos, 2 active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors.
