HubSpot (rank #93) holds a modest lead over edX (rank #338) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (56 vs 43). The gap of 13 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), HubSpot is ahead of edX. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), HubSpot is clearly ahead of edX. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), HubSpot is slightly ahead of edX.

edX carries 392 GitHub stars across 250 public repos, with 52 repositories active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors on record. HubSpot shows 53,481 stars across 381 public repos, 35 active in the last 90 days and 4 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but HubSpot's footprint is roughly 136.4x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.
