Stripe vs Yoast

Stripe and Yoast (This is where the Yoast.com team shares its public code: from our WordPress plugins to other small projects.) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Stripe (rank #1) holds a meaningful lead over Yoast (rank #209) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (76 vs 49). The gap of 27 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

Stripe carries 44,519 GitHub stars across 97 public repos, with 64 repositories active in the last 90 days and 124 external contributors on record. Yoast shows 3,439 stars across 78 public repos, 12 active in the last 90 days and 21 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Stripe's footprint is roughly 12.9x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Stripe is the stronger read for anyone weighting momentum. Yoast makes more sense for teams already using its adjacent tools. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
