The short version

  • Each has a real cost: ChartMogul the free tier stops at $10K MRR, so it lapses precisely as a company starts to matter; Open edX open edX has no licensing fee as open source software, but the vendor's own site states that hosting and infrastructure costs are the operator's responsibility, so there is no bundled managed-hosting price to compare against SaaS competitors.
  • They diverge on capability: ChartMogul covers MRR Analytics, Open edX covers Course authoring.
