Grav vs Gravity Forms
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Grav and Gravity Forms — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Grav vs Gravity Forms: at a glance
What is Grav?
Grav backports a Clockwork profiler security fix from 2.1.7 to its 1.7 line.
Grav's only entry in the feed is 1.7.53.6, a patch to the legacy 1.7 branch. It backports a Grav 2.1.7 security fix so Clockwork profiler data requires a configured debugger.token, even for requests arriving from localhost through a same-server reverse proxy. It also keeps accented letters intact in title-derived slugs on PHP 7.3 to 8.1 with single-byte locales.
What is Gravity Forms?
Gravity Forms follows its 3.2 Repeater field with three add-on point releases.
After Gravity Forms 3.2 added a Repeater field and column layout options, the team shipped point releases for three integrations on October 21: HubSpot 3.0.5, Cloudflare Turnstile 1.5.1 and Pipe 1.6. None of the announcements names a new capability. The previous weeks were similar upkeep across Gravity Flow and its extensions.
Grav vs Gravity Forms: editorial side-by-side
Grav
2.5DEVOPS
Grav backports a Clockwork profiler security fix from 2.1.7 to its 1.7 line.
◆ Current state
Grav's only entry in the feed is 1.7.53.6, a patch to the legacy 1.7 branch. It backports a Grav 2.1.7 security fix so Clockwork profiler data requires a configured debugger.token, even for requests arriving from localhost through a same-server reverse proxy. It also keeps accented letters intact in title-derived slugs on PHP 7.3 to 8.1 with single-byte locales.
◆ Where it's heading
The fix originates on Grav 2.x and is carried back to 1.7, so the project is maintaining two lines, with 1.7 receiving security and compatibility patches for older PHP versions. With a single entry, the cadence on either branch isn't visible yet.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 1.7.53.x patches that mirror security fixes from the 2.x line. The entries don't show how long 1.7 support continues.
Gravity Forms
5.0DEVOPS
Gravity Forms follows its 3.2 Repeater field with three add-on point releases.
◆ Current state
After Gravity Forms 3.2 added a Repeater field and column layout options, the team shipped point releases for three integrations on October 21: HubSpot 3.0.5, Cloudflare Turnstile 1.5.1 and Pipe 1.6. None of the announcements names a new capability. The previous weeks were similar upkeep across Gravity Flow and its extensions.
◆ Where it's heading
Gravity Forms runs on a steady loop of add-on maintenance punctuated by occasional core minors. 3.2 was the first core feature release in this window, and the add-on work around it is compatibility and patching.
◆ Prediction
Expect more add-on point releases updating for 3.2 and a 3.2.x patch; the entries don't show the next core feature.
