SAP (rank #122) holds a narrow lead over Adyen (rank #165) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (54 vs 51). The gap of 3 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), SAP is ahead of Adyen. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), SAP is ahead of Adyen. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), SAP is slightly ahead of Adyen.

Adyen carries 2,684 GitHub stars across 65 public repos, with 49 repositories active in the last 90 days and 39 external contributors on record. SAP shows 12,850 stars across 309 public repos, 96 active in the last 90 days and 60 external contributors.
