How does this plugin differ from @kartik-v's bootstrap-star-rating, which is more popular and actively maintained?

You answered your own question right? It's less popular and less actively maintained! Haha. Just kidding.

I stopped working on this plugin a long time ago when there seemed to be much better competing plugins out there. (way before the one you mentioned came to be).

At first glance I would say they're completely different. But 2 things are obvious: the other plugin needs bootstrap, this doesn't (that may be desirable if you can't or don't want to use bootstrap) and the other plugin uses a single input, this uses radio boxes (which may be desirable).

But is there any particular reason you ask? If you give me some background I might be able to be more specific about the differences.

Also, it uses glyphs instead of images which is way better. It has more comprehensive options, which is never a bad thing. A better api. Better event handling. And is just as flexible because the underlying logic is very similar (you define min, max, step and the plugin creates a control on the fly).

bootstrap star-rating wins, no contest!

the other plugin needs bootstrap

From the bootstrap-star-rating README:

"The plugin uses Bootstrap markup and styling by default, but it can be overridden with any other CSS markup."

Thank you! Appreciate the honesty.
