Snapshot from the daily build of Nov 3, 2026, last 7 days of npm data. With JavaScript on, this page recomputes it live with a 12-month chart.

By estimated real human installs, prisma is ahead of mongoose by about 2.9×: about 25,129,489 vs 8,691,547 a week. npm's raw counts are 8,721,071 for mongoose and 25,157,686 for prisma, which include mirrors, scanners and crawlers.

How the estimate works

  1. Cut the spike every new version gets from mirrors in its first days.
  2. Subtract the flat floor robots download from every version each week.
  3. Show what is left as a range, with an honest confidence level.
