On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), SignNow is slightly ahead of Spreedly.

On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), SignNow is clearly ahead of Spreedly.

SignNow carries 96 GitHub stars across 16 public repos, with 8 repositories active in the last 90 days and 4 external contributors on record. Spreedly shows 418 stars across 67 public repos, 10 active in the last 90 days and 2 external contributors.
