Semrush vs Skyscanner

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

Skyscanner (rank #209) holds a narrow lead over Semrush (rank #317) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (49 vs 44). The gap of 5 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

Semrush carries 454 GitHub stars across 11 public repos, with 2 repositories active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors on record. Skyscanner shows 8,167 stars across 86 public repos, 18 active in the last 90 days and 39 external contributors.
