Gravity Wiz vs Scalingo: at a glance
What is Gravity Wiz?
Gravity Wiz turns Gravity Forms into a booking marketplace with GP Bookings 1.0
Gravity Wiz is launching whole products rather than shipping increments: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, Product Configurator 1.0 in June, and Spam Hexer in June. The older entries in this window are major versions of existing perks, with date and time functions arriving in Advanced Calculations 2.0 and an alpha of Advanced Conditional Logic adding AND/OR rule groups, four operators, and support for formulas and dynamic values.
What is Scalingo?
Scalingo puts JDK 27 and Python 3.15 on the platform days after upstream release.
Scalingo's changelog is mostly platform upkeep: this week brought JDK 27, Python 3.15.0, Go 1.27.2, four Node.js versions, new Tomcat Webapp Runner defaults and nginx 1.30.6. The one recent product change is Application Firewall, which blocks public HTTP/HTTPS traffic from outside allowed IPv4 ranges before it reaches containers. CLI 1.50.0 revokes the API token on logout.

Gravity Wiz turns Gravity Forms into a booking marketplace with GP Bookings 1.0
◆ Current state
Gravity Wiz is launching whole products rather than shipping increments: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, Product Configurator 1.0 in June, and Spam Hexer in June. The older entries in this window are major versions of existing perks, with date and time functions arriving in Advanced Calculations 2.0 and an alpha of Advanced Conditional Logic adding AND/OR rule groups, four operators, and support for formulas and dynamic values.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is that Gravity Forms is being treated as an application platform rather than a form builder, and Gravity Wiz keeps shipping the layers that make that true. Bookings adds scheduling with per-provider ownership, Product Configurator ties forms to WooCommerce catalog structure, and Advanced Conditional Logic pushes form logic toward something closer to a rules engine. Each release makes forms carry more application behavior instead of just collecting input.
◆ Prediction
Advanced Conditional Logic is still at alpha 1, so a stable release is the clear next step. Given the Bookings launch, integration between scheduling and the existing payment and WooCommerce perks is the natural follow-on.
Scalingo
5.0DEVOPS
Scalingo puts JDK 27 and Python 3.15 on the platform days after upstream release.
◆ Current state
Scalingo's changelog is mostly platform upkeep: this week brought JDK 27, Python 3.15.0, Go 1.27.2, four Node.js versions, new Tomcat Webapp Runner defaults and nginx 1.30.6. The one recent product change is Application Firewall, which blocks public HTTP/HTTPS traffic from outside allowed IPv4 ranges before it reaches containers. CLI 1.50.0 revokes the API token on logout.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is competing on currency and safe defaults rather than new surface area: new language runtimes land within days, and security moves into the platform through the firewall and ModSecurity in the nginx buildpack. The rest of the work keeps runtimes and managed databases current.
◆ Prediction
IPv6 ranges or per-route rules are the obvious follow-ups for Application Firewall, since the launch covers IPv4 only. Otherwise expect a steady stream of runtime and database image releases.
