GitHub vs Gravity Wiz: at a glance
What is GitHub?
Security and governance controls catch up to the Copilot build-out
GitHub's shipping split cleanly this window: platform security and governance on one side, Copilot model rotation on the other. Credential revocation now works by token type during an incident, OAuth apps can opt into expiring tokens with refresh, and enterprise managed settings reached Copilot for JetBrains. Code Quality gained a Trends tab at the organization level, and CodeQL 2.26.3 improved JavaScript, TypeScript and Vue modeling alongside GitHub Actions queries.
What is Gravity Wiz?
Gravity Wiz turns Gravity Forms into a booking marketplace with GP Bookings 1.0
Gravity Wiz is launching whole products rather than shipping increments: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, Product Configurator 1.0 in June, and Spam Hexer in June. The older entries in this window are major versions of existing perks, with date and time functions arriving in Advanced Calculations 2.0 and an alpha of Advanced Conditional Logic adding AND/OR rule groups, four operators, and support for formulas and dynamic values.

Security and governance controls catch up to the Copilot build-out
◆ Current state
GitHub's shipping split cleanly this window: platform security and governance on one side, Copilot model rotation on the other. Credential revocation now works by token type during an incident, OAuth apps can opt into expiring tokens with refresh, and enterprise managed settings reached Copilot for JetBrains. Code Quality gained a Trends tab at the organization level, and CodeQL 2.26.3 improved JavaScript, TypeScript and Vue modeling alongside GitHub Actions queries.
◆ Where it's heading
The interesting work has moved from adding Copilot surfaces to governing them. Enterprise managed settings, MCP allowlists, and per-token-type revocation are all answers to the same question — how an administrator controls an agent fleet — and they are arriving faster than the agent features themselves now. Model additions have become routine catalogue maintenance, individually low-signal.
◆ Prediction
Expect enterprise managed settings to keep extending to the remaining Copilot clients, and OAuth token expiry to move from opt-in toward default once adoption data supports it. The weekly model cadence should continue with little signal in any single addition.

Gravity Wiz turns Gravity Forms into a booking marketplace with GP Bookings 1.0
◆ Current state
Gravity Wiz is launching whole products rather than shipping increments: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, Product Configurator 1.0 in June, and Spam Hexer in June. The older entries in this window are major versions of existing perks, with date and time functions arriving in Advanced Calculations 2.0 and an alpha of Advanced Conditional Logic adding AND/OR rule groups, four operators, and support for formulas and dynamic values.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is that Gravity Forms is being treated as an application platform rather than a form builder, and Gravity Wiz keeps shipping the layers that make that true. Bookings adds scheduling with per-provider ownership, Product Configurator ties forms to WooCommerce catalog structure, and Advanced Conditional Logic pushes form logic toward something closer to a rules engine. Each release makes forms carry more application behavior instead of just collecting input.
◆ Prediction
Advanced Conditional Logic is still at alpha 1, so a stable release is the clear next step. Given the Bookings launch, integration between scheduling and the existing payment and WooCommerce perks is the natural follow-on.
