DevStats (CNCF) versus Waydev
Compare	DevStats (CNCF)	Waydev
Verdict	Depends	Depends
Best for	CNCF project maintainers	VPs of Engineering at scale-ups
Who it's not for	Engineering leaders measuring private team productivity . it only sees public CNCF repos	Teams under ~50 devs . 130+ metrics and annual pricing are overkill
Privacy	No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.^⁵	SOC 3 compliance claimed; a 2020 OAuth-token breach involving customer repos was reported by ZDNet.
Support quality	No evidence on support.	Testimonials praise support, but self-reported
Public sentiment	Public feedback is sparse: users enjoy contribution visibility, while CNCF's own site warns the stats may be inaccurate.^⁹	Reviews are broadly positive, calling Waydev a valuable and helpful engineering analytics tool.¹⁴
Biggest gotcha	Accuracy: CNCF's own site warns stats can be wrong; don't treat them as authoritative.^²	2020 OAuth token breach . ask what's changed before granting repo access.

Engineering leaders measuring private team productivity . it only sees public CNCF repos
