GravityKit vs Grype
A side-by-side editorial comparison of GravityKit and Grype — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
GravityKit vs Grype: at a glance
What is GravityKit?
GravityKit is quietly turning Gravity Forms entries into a cross-form data layer.
Multiple Forms 0.7.0 adds unions — stacking entries from several Gravity Forms forms into one searchable View with no shared field and no code. It arrives alongside rich text inline editing in GravityEdit and GravityView 3.3.0, which carries compatibility fixes for Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0. The weekly Launch Log cadence is steady and covers the whole suite at once: View editor drag-to-copy, accessibility work including screen reader row headers, 3D map viewport loading, DataTables search and security, and Block MCP theme template editing.
What is Grype?
Grype's entire roadmap is false positives — and it just went code-aware to cut them.
Almost every release in this window targets match accuracy rather than coverage. Go has taken the brunt of it: merging govulndb GO-* records with their GHSA aliases, scoping GHSA twins by shared CVE, disabling stdlib CPE matching by default, and ignoring compiler CVEs when an image contains only a compiled binary. Coverage still widens at the edges — Zarf packages, Ubuntu ESM, Chainguard OSV data, CycloneDX 1.7 input — but it is not where the effort sits.

GravityKit is quietly turning Gravity Forms entries into a cross-form data layer.
◆ Current state
Multiple Forms 0.7.0 adds unions — stacking entries from several Gravity Forms forms into one searchable View with no shared field and no code. It arrives alongside rich text inline editing in GravityEdit and GravityView 3.3.0, which carries compatibility fixes for Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0. The weekly Launch Log cadence is steady and covers the whole suite at once: View editor drag-to-copy, accessibility work including screen reader row headers, 3D map viewport loading, DataTables search and security, and Block MCP theme template editing.
◆ Where it's heading
Two lines are converging. The first treats form entries as a queryable dataset rather than per-form submissions — GravitySearch's cross-form search, and now unions, both dissolve the boundary between individual forms. The second is an agent surface: GravityKit MCP and Block MCP keep receiving updates, and GravityView 3.0 shipped AI-assisted View creation. A large share of recent releases is also absorbed by keeping the suite compatible with Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0, which sets the pace of everything else.
◆ Prediction
Expect unions to move from the Multiple Forms add-on toward the core View building experience, following the same path cross-form search took. Continued Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 compatibility fixes will likely dominate the next few Launch Logs.
Grype
6.3INFRA · APIS
Grype's entire roadmap is false positives — and it just went code-aware to cut them.
◆ Current state
Almost every release in this window targets match accuracy rather than coverage. Go has taken the brunt of it: merging govulndb GO-* records with their GHSA aliases, scoping GHSA twins by shared CVE, disabling stdlib CPE matching by default, and ignoring compiler CVEs when an image contains only a compiled binary. Coverage still widens at the edges — Zarf packages, Ubuntu ESM, Chainguard OSV data, CycloneDX 1.7 input — but it is not where the effort sits.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from naive SBOM-to-CVE matching toward evidence-based matching. Reachability analysis is the clearest marker: grype is beginning to reason about whether vulnerable code is actually reachable rather than merely present. The parallel stream of ecosystem-specific correctness work — RHEL minor version streams, RHSA duplication, distro version parsing — suggests the same per-ecosystem treatment is being worked through one package manager at a time.
◆ Prediction
Reachability shipped for Go only. Extending it to a second ecosystem is the obvious next step, and Java or JavaScript are the likeliest targets given where SBOM false positives concentrate.
