Remote vs SAP

Remote (Remote helps with international payroll, benefits, taxes, stock options, and compliance for businesses big and small!) 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 narrow lead over Remote (rank #278) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (54 vs 46). The gap of 8 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 Remote. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Remote is ahead of SAP. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), SAP is clearly ahead of Remote. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), SAP is slightly ahead of Remote. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), SAP is ahead of Remote.

Remote carries 811 GitHub stars across 51 public repos, with 17 repositories active in the last 90 days and 21 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 15.8x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Remote is the stronger read for anyone weighting education. 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.
