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

edX carries 392 GitHub stars across 250 public repos, with 52 repositories active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors on record. Qualtrics shows 20 stars across 20 public repos, 7 active in the last 90 days and 3 external contributors.
