What is Gravity Forms?

Gravity Forms pushes toward a 3.0 platform while its add-on ecosystem keeps shipping.

Gravity Forms is in a dual mode: driving its core toward 3.0 (now at Release Candidate 1, promising international phone formats and accessibility by default) while its satellite add-ons, SMTP, Flow, GravityView, Quiz, and PayPal, ship independent feature releases. The ecosystem, not just the core, is where much of the momentum lives.

What is Auth0?

Auth0 hardens enterprise IAM: federated sessions, token governance, and automated provisioning.

Auth0's recent releases cluster around enterprise identity correctness rather than new consumer-facing auth. The work spans federated session lifecycle (IPSIE session_expiry enforcement for Okta and OIDC connections), refresh-token governance, and B2B Organizations, where third-party app access is now GA with per-organization control. Dashboard search and Google One Tap round out smaller admin- and login-surface conveniences.

Gravity Forms vs Auth0: editorial side-by-side

G5.0

Gravity Forms pushes toward a 3.0 platform while its add-on ecosystem keeps shipping.

◆ Current state

Gravity Forms is in a dual mode: driving its core toward 3.0 (now at Release Candidate 1, promising international phone formats and accessibility by default) while its satellite add-ons, SMTP, Flow, GravityView, Quiz, and PayPal, ship independent feature releases. The ecosystem, not just the core, is where much of the momentum lives.

◆ Where it's heading

The 3.0 line signals a modernization pass focused on accessibility and internationalization, foundational work that widens the addressable market. Meanwhile add-ons are gaining workflow depth (conditional email routing, choice-based flow branching) and security tooling (AbuseIPDB), pointing to a maturing forms platform rather than a single plugin.

◆ Prediction

Expect 3.0 to reach general availability after the RC cycle, with accessibility-by-default as its headline positioning.

6.3

Auth0 hardens enterprise IAM: federated sessions, token governance, and automated provisioning.

◆ Current state

Auth0's recent releases cluster around enterprise identity correctness rather than new consumer-facing auth. The work spans federated session lifecycle (IPSIE session_expiry enforcement for Okta and OIDC connections), refresh-token governance, and B2B Organizations, where third-party app access is now GA with per-organization control. Dashboard search and Google One Tap round out smaller admin- and login-surface conveniences.

◆ Where it's heading

The through-line is Auth0 positioning as the enterprise IAM control plane, not just a login box: closing federation gaps, adding token-level governance, and this cycle extending Event Streams into outbound SCIM provisioning. That last move pushes Auth0 into automated downstream lifecycle management, territory historically owned by workforce-IAM incumbents like Okta. Standards alignment (the IPSIE profile) and Event Streams as an integration backbone are becoming the spine of the roadmap.

◆ Prediction

Expect more Event Streams Action templates and additional IPSIE-profile coverage as Auth0 builds out provisioning and federated-session parity with incumbent workforce-IAM vendors.
