Moodle led recommendation prompts at 94.4% of 18 runs in the 4-week window to 2026-09-05, and problem_solving prompts at 100% of 9 runs, the set that includes SCORM content and progress tracking. Open edX and edX both led best_in_category at 94.4% of 18 runs, the pair of prompts covering corporate training at 500 employees and on-premise university data. Canvas, Open edX and edX all reached 100% of the 9 alternatives runs. Moodle led the comparison prompt at 55.6% of 9 runs. So the shortlist depends on whether the deployment question is a data-residency one, a scale one, or a cost-versus-control one.
