GravityKit vs Semgrep
A side-by-side editorial comparison of GravityKit and Semgrep — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
GravityKit vs Semgrep: at a glance
What is GravityKit?
GravityKit adds Google Sheets export and Elementor calendar widget — WordPress form data reaches beyond the CMS.
GravityKit is an ecosystem of Gravity Forms extensions for WordPress (GravityView, GravityCalendar, GravityMath, GravityMigrate, GravityExport). The most recent releases add a Google Sheets live export that keeps spreadsheets in sync with Gravity Forms data, a GravityCalendar widget for Elementor, and Multiple Forms unions (stacking entries from multiple forms in a single view). Weekly 'Launch Log' releases ship 3–5 improvements and fixes across the plugin suite.
What is Semgrep?
Semgrep adds Objective-C as an alpha target, its first new language since Dart went GA.
Semgrep ships weekly on two tracks. Supply Chain added Bazel Maven workspaces in 1.177, Bun lockfiles in 1.179 and unpinned Python requirements in 1.181. The matcher promoted Dart to GA in 1.180. 1.182 adds Objective-C (alpha) with search- and taint-mode rules, and updates the C# Pro, Terraform HCL and Lua grammars.
GravityKit vs Semgrep: editorial side-by-side
GravityKit
5.0INFRA · APIS
GravityKit adds Google Sheets export and Elementor calendar widget — WordPress form data reaches beyond the CMS.
◆ Current state
GravityKit is an ecosystem of Gravity Forms extensions for WordPress (GravityView, GravityCalendar, GravityMath, GravityMigrate, GravityExport). The most recent releases add a Google Sheets live export that keeps spreadsheets in sync with Gravity Forms data, a GravityCalendar widget for Elementor, and Multiple Forms unions (stacking entries from multiple forms in a single view). Weekly 'Launch Log' releases ship 3–5 improvements and fixes across the plugin suite.
◆ Where it's heading
GravityKit is expanding the data portability and presentation options for Gravity Forms users: Google Sheets export, Elementor integration, and Multiple Forms unions all extend where form data can go and how it can be displayed. The consistent weekly cadence and security hardening releases (GravityMigrate, GravityRevisions) indicate a mature plugin ecosystem in steady maintenance mode with targeted new capabilities.
◆ Prediction
The Google Sheets export is likely to gain more granular sync controls (webhook triggers, specific column mapping). Additional page builder integrations beyond Elementor are probable given the established pattern.
Semgrep
5.0INFRA · APIS
Semgrep adds Objective-C as an alpha target, its first new language since Dart went GA.
◆ Current state
Semgrep ships weekly on two tracks. Supply Chain added Bazel Maven workspaces in 1.177, Bun lockfiles in 1.179 and unpinned Python requirements in 1.181. The matcher promoted Dart to GA in 1.180. 1.182 adds Objective-C (alpha) with search- and taint-mode rules, and updates the C# Pro, Terraform HCL and Lua grammars.
◆ Where it's heading
Language coverage is widening toward Apple-platform code, where .m files have so far sat outside Semgrep's rules, and Objective-C++ is promised separately. On the dependency side, Python requirements handling keeps moving toward how people write manifests by hand rather than how pip-compile emits them.
◆ Prediction
Expect Objective-C++ (.mm) support next, as the 1.182 notes say, and Objective-C moving out of alpha. The open item from 1.181, turning unpinned Python deps into findings, has no date yet.
