SAP (SAP SE, a global software company, is one of the largest vendors of ERP and other enterprise applications.) and SignNow (SignNow e-signature API - send, sign & embed documents in any app. SDKs for Node.js, Python, PHP, .NET & Java.) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

SAP (rank #122) holds a narrow lead over SignNow (rank #209) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (54 vs 49). The gap of 5 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

SAP carries 12,850 GitHub stars across 309 public repos, with 96 repositories active in the last 90 days and 60 external contributors on record. SignNow shows 96 stars across 16 public repos, 8 active in the last 90 days and 4 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but SAP's footprint is roughly 133.9x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.
