Counts are the sources' own: n8n's gallery views, Dify's marketplace usage, GitHub's stars; Activepieces publishes none, so its order is curated. Node counts are the sources' own: Activepieces' projects, Dify's installs; n8n publishes none, so its order is how many gallery templates use the node, counted weekly. Each entry links to its source; the creators keep their rights.
