A side-by-side editorial comparison of Gravity Wiz and Technitium DNS Server — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Gravity Wiz previews Flowcrafter, a visual workflow canvas for Gravity Forms.
Gravity Wiz has been launching whole products: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, and Product Configurator 1.0 and Spam Hexer in June. On November 6 it opened early access to Flowcrafter Beta 1, a free plugin for building Gravity Forms processes on a visual canvas with steps, decisions, approval waits and a record of each run.
Technitium adds LDAP sign-in to the DNS server that already gained SSO in v15.
Technitium DNS Server has shipped eleven v15 releases since April, from v15.0 with OpenID Connect single sign-on to v15.6.2 on October 17. v15.5 in September added LDAP authentication and a zone file editor in the web console, and nearly every release since has carried fixes for reported security issues. Announcements are short and point to the CHANGELOG for detail.

On November 6 it opened early access to Flowcrafter Beta 1, a free plugin for building Gravity Forms processes on a visual canvas with steps, decisions, approval waits and a record of each run.
Each launch takes Gravity Forms further from data collection: bookings made it a scheduling tool, and Flowcrafter makes it a process engine where a submission starts multi-step work. The pattern is broad new surfaces, with beta and alpha releases before 1.0.
Expect further Flowcrafter betas adding steps and integrations with existing perks such as GP Bookings, before a 1.0 release.
Technitium DNS Server has shipped eleven v15 releases since April, from v15.0 with OpenID Connect single sign-on to v15.6.2 on October 17. v15.5 in September added LDAP authentication and a zone file editor in the web console, and nearly every release since has carried fixes for reported security issues. Announcements are short and point to the CHANGELOG for detail.
The v15 line keeps extending admin identity, from OIDC to SSO scopes to LDAP, while patch releases arrive every one to two weeks with security fixes. That frequency of reported security issues is the thread to watch.
More v15.6.x service updates are likely; whether a v16 line follows is unclear from the feed.
