Gravity Flow vs Leantime
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Gravity Flow and Leantime — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Gravity Flow vs Leantime: at a glance
What is Gravity Flow?
Gravity Flow spends its autumn on upkeep, with one breaking change in PDF Generator 4.0
Gravity Flow is a WordPress workflow-automation add-on for Gravity Forms, in a maintenance stretch after 3.1's Choice Routing. The core 3.1.2 update tightens where Assignee, Multi-User and Discussion fields can go, and fixes upload deletion for logged-out users, a Connected Apps verification fault and two block or JavaScript errors. Around it, the extensions moved in one batch: PDF Generator 4.0 vendor-prefixes its mPDF library, a breaking change for custom code that references mPDF classes, and WooCommerce 1.7.1 adds HPOS compatibility.
What is Leantime?
Leantime swaps role ranks for real permissions and syncs with your calendar app.
Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.14 between October and 10 November. v3.14.0 replaces role-rank checks with specific permission checks across projects, timesheets, users, API keys, to-dos, milestones and sprints, and opens the calendar to plugins; a new CalDAV plugin syncs both ways with Nextcloud, Radicale and Apple Calendar. Earlier releases added mobile push, per-project modules, global search and self-updating plugins.

◆ Current state
Gravity Flow is a WordPress workflow-automation add-on for Gravity Forms, in a maintenance stretch after 3.1's Choice Routing. The core 3.1.2 update tightens where Assignee, Multi-User and Discussion fields can go, and fixes upload deletion for logged-out users, a Connected Apps verification fault and two block or JavaScript errors. Around it, the extensions moved in one batch: PDF Generator 4.0 vendor-prefixes its mPDF library, a breaking change for custom code that references mPDF classes, and WooCommerce 1.7.1 adds HPOS compatibility.
◆ Where it's heading
The extension family is being kept compatible with what sits around it, Gravity Forms repeaters, WooCommerce's order storage, and third-party PHP libraries, rather than gaining features. Vendor prefixing and HPOS are both about coexisting safely on a busy WordPress install. New workflow primitives have not appeared since July.
◆ Prediction
Expect further point releases across extensions, usually batched on one day as on September 30 and October 15. Whether a 3.2 with new step types follows is not visible from these entries.
Leantime
5.0PM
Leantime swaps role ranks for real permissions and syncs with your calendar app.
◆ Current state
Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.14 between October and 10 November. v3.14.0 replaces role-rank checks with specific permission checks across projects, timesheets, users, API keys, to-dos, milestones and sprints, and opens the calendar to plugins; a new CalDAV plugin syncs both ways with Nextcloud, Radicale and Apple Calendar. Earlier releases added mobile push, per-project modules, global search and self-updating plugins.
◆ Where it's heading
The release cadence is roughly one feature version every two weeks, split between finer access control and a plugin marketplace that carries more functionality. Core changes increasingly exist to give plugins stable hooks, as the calendar rework shows.
◆ Prediction
Expect more marketplace plugins built on the new calendar and permission hooks, and further permission work extending to the remaining modules.
