SAP (rank #122) holds a narrow lead over Frappe (rank #141) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (54 vs 53). The gap of 1 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), SAP is slightly ahead of Frappe. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Frappe is clearly ahead of SAP.

Frappe carries 107,553 GitHub stars across 207 public repos, with 62 repositories active in the last 90 days and 174 external contributors on record. SAP shows 12,850 stars across 309 public repos, 96 active in the last 90 days and 60 external contributors.
