Engineering Decision Guide

Which Should You Choose: neohtop or cobalt?

✓ Choose neohtop If:

  • Your stack requires Svelte standard tooling and runtime conventions.
  • Your team values targeted specialization.
  • You prioritize its MIT License licensing terms for proprietary enterprise distribution.
  • You need verified maintenance cadence (11.5/25 pts in velocity).

✓ Choose cobalt If:

  • Your application architecture is built around Svelte.
  • You prefer its modular footprint and release update cadence (11.5/25 pts).
  • You want to take advantage of its documentation ecosystem (11.5/15 pts).
  • Your team is seeking active issue resolution with low maintainer stagnation.
