GraphHopper vs Gravity Forms
A side-by-side editorial comparison of GraphHopper and Gravity Forms — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
GraphHopper vs Gravity Forms: at a glance
What is GraphHopper?
GraphHopper 11.1 is a security release, and 12.0 prerelease tags have started.
GraphHopper published 11.1 in October as a security release fixing what it calls critical vulnerabilities, without describing them; the attached change list largely repeats 11.0's OSM tag work, plus items such as trip-based public transit routing, scriptable turn penalties and POST /navigate. Alongside it, 12.0-pre1 and 12.0-pre3 tags and an odd 11.0-alpha1 tag appeared with only commit messages. The roughly yearly major cadence (10.0 in late 2024, 11.0 in October 2025) points at 12.0 as the next major.
What is Gravity Forms?
Gravity Forms 3.2.2 is another unexplained patch on the Repeater release line.
Gravity Forms 3.2 added a Repeater field and column layouts on October 20. Since then the team has shipped only point releases: add-on updates for HubSpot, Cloudflare Turnstile and Pipe, reCAPTCHA and Partial Entries, and now core 3.2.2, none of which name a specific change.

◆ Current state
GraphHopper published 11.1 in October as a security release fixing what it calls critical vulnerabilities, without describing them; the attached change list largely repeats 11.0's OSM tag work, plus items such as trip-based public transit routing, scriptable turn penalties and POST /navigate. Alongside it, 12.0-pre1 and 12.0-pre3 tags and an odd 11.0-alpha1 tag appeared with only commit messages. The roughly yearly major cadence (10.0 in late 2024, 11.0 in October 2025) points at 12.0 as the next major.
◆ Where it's heading
The engine's recent work is routing quality, reading OSM tags more faithfully per mode, and that continues in the 11.x list. The 12.0 prereleases suggest the next major is in preparation, but their notes give no content. Security disclosure is thin: 11.1 is labelled critical without naming the issue.
◆ Prediction
A 12.0 release is the next likely major entry given the prerelease tags; its contents can't be read from these entries.
Gravity Forms
5.0DEVOPS
Gravity Forms 3.2.2 is another unexplained patch on the Repeater release line.
◆ Current state
Gravity Forms 3.2 added a Repeater field and column layouts on October 20. Since then the team has shipped only point releases: add-on updates for HubSpot, Cloudflare Turnstile and Pipe, reCAPTCHA and Partial Entries, and now core 3.2.2, none of which name a specific change.
◆ Where it's heading
The 3.2 line is in stabilisation, with two core patches in a week following the Repeater field. Add-ons move on their own cadence, mostly upkeep.
◆ Prediction
More 3.2.x patches are likely; the entries give no sign of the next feature release.
