On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Element is slightly ahead of LogicMonitor.

Element carries 34,608 GitHub stars across 137 public repos, with 33 repositories active in the last 90 days and 97 external contributors on record. LogicMonitor shows 194 stars across 34 public repos, 16 active in the last 90 days and 4 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Element's footprint is roughly 178.4x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.
