On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Elementor is ahead of edX. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Elementor is clearly ahead of edX. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), edX is slightly ahead of Elementor. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), edX is clearly ahead of Elementor.

edX carries 392 GitHub stars across 250 public repos, with 52 repositories active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors on record. Elementor shows 10,938 stars across 67 public repos, 9 active in the last 90 days and 45 external contributors.
