What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

mypy

Leader

A type analysis tool for Python that enables code to transition from pure dynamic typing to statically-typed code through annotations, with error detection at check time. Code runs with negligible performance impact and developers can incrementally adopt static types in existing projects.

Independently observed

PHPStan

PHPStan is a static analysis tool for PHP that scans codebases to find bugs before they reach production. It offers both a free open-source version and a paid Pro tier with a web UI and continuous background analysis.
