Semrush (rank #317) holds a narrow lead over SoundCloud (rank #536) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (44 vs 36). The gap of 8 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. SoundCloud shows 8,606 stars across 56 public repos, 17 active in the last 90 days and 4 external contributors.
