On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), OpenCart is ahead of Iterable. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Iterable is clearly ahead of OpenCart.

Iterable carries 269 GitHub stars across 100 public repos, with 16 repositories active in the last 90 days and 10 external contributors on record. OpenCart shows 8,157 stars across 2 public repos, 1 active in the last 90 days and 26 external contributors.
