edX vs Fillout

Developer ecosystem comparison across GitHub activity, SDKs, documentation, community, reach and momentum.

edX (Online learning at https://edx.org, powered by the Open edX platform https://openedx.org) and Fillout both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

edX (rank #338) holds a narrow lead over Fillout (rank #510) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (43 vs 37). The gap of 6 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

edX carries 392 GitHub stars across 250 public repos, with 52 repositories active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors on record. Fillout shows 2 stars across 9 public repos, 3 active in the last 90 days and 3 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but edX's footprint is roughly 196.0x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

edX is the stronger read for anyone weighting momentum. Fillout looks better where reach 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.
