CrewAI usage: downloads and installs
crewaiTrend: the monthly download count is stored once a day, starting 17 Oct 2026. A chart appears here after a week of readings.
Download and pull counts include automated installs from CI pipelines, containers and mirrors, so they show how widely the software is pulled, not how many people use it. Numbers from different registries are not comparable with each other. Sources: PyPI download statistics via ecosyste.ms, read 18 Oct 2026, 13:59 UTC.

How this is measured: commits on the repository’s default branch counted through the GitHub API, the last 91 days against the same 91 days a year earlier; archived flag and licence from the repository; README checked daily for maintenance notices. Commit counts measure activity, not quality, and we have not tested this tool ourselves for this page.
