Ahrefs vs SAP

Ahrefs (BTW we use OCaml) and SAP (SAP SE, a global software company, is one of the largest vendors of ERP and other enterprise applications.) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

SAP (rank #122) holds a modest lead over Ahrefs (rank #401) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (54 vs 41). The gap of 13 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), SAP is clearly ahead of Ahrefs. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), SAP is slightly ahead of Ahrefs. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), SAP is ahead of Ahrefs. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Ahrefs is ahead of SAP.

Ahrefs carries 1,303 GitHub stars across 171 public repos, with 28 repositories active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors on record. SAP shows 12,850 stars across 309 public repos, 96 active in the last 90 days and 60 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but SAP's footprint is roughly 9.9x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Ahrefs is the stronger read for anyone weighting momentum. SAP looks better where code quality is the deciding factor. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
