A side-by-side editorial comparison of Gravity Flow and My Hours — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
My Hours 10.2 adds lifetime project profitability, including flat-fee work.
10.2 adds an all-time Balance column that shows lifetime project profitability, flat-fee projects included, and Project overview now shows Balance and Margin (all time). Clients can have multiple contacts for invoices and scheduled reports, and normal users can complete their assigned tasks if a Pro setting allows it. Those changes follow 10.0's configurable timesheet periods and locking and 10.1's account-wide audit log.

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.
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.

My Hours is moving from time capture toward the money view of a project, on top of the controls finance and HR teams expect: periods, locks, approvals and a record of who changed what. Invoicing keeps getting deeper alongside that. The Claude connector remains a secondary interface, and nothing has been added to it since launch.
Expect more profitability reporting built on the all-time figures, along with approval and export features on top of timesheet periods. The entries don't show where the MCP integration goes next.
