For RPG worlds that are one planet - Depends on the aesthetic you're going for. A sense of grounded realism, even within a fantasy setting? 2-3 if you're not just doing humans. A more fairytale or whimsical sense? There's no such thing as too many, but you're probably not going to want to stat everything up beyond individual differences for that aesthetic.
For space- hopping sci-fi - Again, it depends on the aesthetic you're going for. Red Dwarf got a lot of mileage out of 'only humans' [and genetically engineered life forms. And The Cat], while Star Trek and Star Wars are able to have one or more different sapient species on every planet. I think having more than 2-3 per planet that are native to that planet would still be pushing it, and I'd lean towards one (sapience is a very expensive evolutionary trait in terms of energy consumption - Brains need a ton of fuel - And while there are a lot of advantages to being sapient, evolution searches for local maxima, not optimal solutions, and sapience isn't going to be the optimal solution for every species. Sponges are doing just fine without a complex nervous system, and it's difficult to see what evolutionary advantages sapience would give to a sessile filter feeder)
