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 Speakeasy?

Speakeasy becomes the enterprise control plane for MCP server access and AI tool governance.

Speakeasy has pivoted from an SDK/API generation tool into a full governance platform for Model Context Protocol infrastructure. In the past week, the product shipped per-server access control pages, per-tool permission granularity, killswitch management, credential verification for remote sessions, and a breaking refactor to risk policy scoping. The pace of feature delivery across v1.21–v1.25 is high, and the product surface has grown substantially: shadow AI detection, OTLP risk export, catalog management, and editable gateway instructions are all now part of the same control plane.

Gravity Wiz vs Speakeasy: editorial side-by-side

G6.3

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.

10.0

Speakeasy becomes the enterprise control plane for MCP server access and AI tool governance.

◆ Current state

Speakeasy has pivoted from an SDK/API generation tool into a full governance platform for Model Context Protocol infrastructure. In the past week, the product shipped per-server access control pages, per-tool permission granularity, killswitch management, credential verification for remote sessions, and a breaking refactor to risk policy scoping. The pace of feature delivery across v1.21–v1.25 is high, and the product surface has grown substantially: shadow AI detection, OTLP risk export, catalog management, and editable gateway instructions are all now part of the same control plane.

◆ Where it's heading

Every release deepens the enterprise governance story: finer-grained access controls, trusted issuer chains for enterprise IdP integration, and precise billing instrumentation from exact meter readings. The direction is clear—Speakeasy is positioning itself as the security and compliance layer for organizations deploying AI agents at scale. The API-breaking risk policy refactor signals the team is willing to clean house to reach a coherent model rather than accumulate overlapping scope mechanisms.

◆ Prediction

The next move is likely deeper audit and compliance tooling—possibly signed event logs, per-user MCP usage reports meeting enterprise security requirements, or wider IdP federation support beyond the current OIDC/RFC 8414 implementation.
