On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Woo is ahead of VTEX. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Woo is ahead of VTEX. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Woo is clearly ahead of VTEX.

VTEX carries 1,617 GitHub stars across 266 public repos, with 47 repositories active in the last 90 days and 51 external contributors on record. Woo shows 23,045 stars across 247 public repos, 47 active in the last 90 days and 100 external contributors.
