SAP vs Smartsheet

SAP (SAP SE, a global software company, is one of the largest vendors of ERP and other enterprise applications.) and Smartsheet (Opensource SDKs for the Smartsheet collaborative work management platform) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

SAP (rank #122) holds a modest lead over Smartsheet (rank #338) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (54 vs 43). The gap of 11 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 Smartsheet. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Smartsheet is clearly ahead of SAP. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), SAP is ahead of Smartsheet. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Smartsheet is ahead of SAP. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), SAP is clearly ahead of Smartsheet.

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. Smartsheet shows 150 stars across 11 public repos, 8 active in the last 90 days and 15 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but SAP's footprint is roughly 85.7x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

SAP is the stronger read for anyone weighting code quality. Smartsheet looks better where education 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.
