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 Lokalise?

Lokalise is layering enterprise controls and AI-aware translation memory onto the platform

Lokalise is shipping enterprise and workflow depth: a new public audit-logs API in OCSF format for SIEM tools, stronger account-security notifications, and finer control over translation-memory matches and review scope. AI/MT quality is a recurring theme, from TM capture of reviewed machine translations to a new quality-analytics section.

Gravity Forms vs Lokalise: 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.

Lokalise is layering enterprise controls and AI-aware translation memory onto the platform

◆ Current state

Lokalise is shipping enterprise and workflow depth: a new public audit-logs API in OCSF format for SIEM tools, stronger account-security notifications, and finer control over translation-memory matches and review scope. AI/MT quality is a recurring theme, from TM capture of reviewed machine translations to a new quality-analytics section.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is maturing along two lines: enterprise governance (auditability, account security) and making AI/MT trustworthy by feeding human-reviewed output back into translation memory and measuring post-edit effort. Both point at serving larger, compliance-minded localization teams.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued enterprise controls (audit, security, API surface) and more AI/MT quality tooling that closes the loop between machine output and human review.
