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

HubSpot carries 53,481 GitHub stars across 381 public repos, with 35 repositories active in the last 90 days and 4 external contributors on record. Sage shows 2,180 stars across 122 public repos, 6 active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors.
