edX vs Lodgify

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 Lodgify both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

edX (rank #338) holds a modest lead over Lodgify (rank #728) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (43 vs 30). The gap of 13 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 Lodgify. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Lodgify is clearly ahead of edX. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), edX is ahead of Lodgify. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), edX is clearly ahead of Lodgify. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), edX is ahead of Lodgify.

edX carries 392 GitHub stars across 250 public repos, with 52 repositories active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors on record. Lodgify shows 13 stars across 16 public repos, 3 active in the last 90 days and 0 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but edX's footprint is roughly 30.2x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

edX is the stronger read for anyone weighting reach. Lodgify 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.
