Apideck vs GravityKit: at a glance
What is Apideck?
Apideck rebuilds its SD Worx connector after the old login method is switched off.
Apideck added an SD Worx web service connector on November 3 that uses certificate-based OIDC credentials, because SD Worx no longer activates the username and password access the SOAP connector relied on. Existing connections keep working, and the old connector now points to the new one as its migration target. It covers employees and daily time-off records, within SD Worx's limit of 1,000 employee-months per day.
What is GravityKit?
GravityKit folds every GravityView extension into one Pro plugin.
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons, mostly security fixes and small field options. The November 12 release bundles every GravityView extension and layout into one Pro plugin with Live Filters, Connected Views and an Edit Window; the November 13 log adds paid, ranked Featured Tiers, a Pages with this View menu and more security fixes. October's notable items were Visual Merge Tags, AI-built boards and AI-managed calendars.

Apideck
2.5INFRA · APIS
Apideck rebuilds its SD Worx connector after the old login method is switched off.
◆ Current state
Apideck added an SD Worx web service connector on November 3 that uses certificate-based OIDC credentials, because SD Worx no longer activates the username and password access the SOAP connector relied on. Existing connections keep working, and the old connector now points to the new one as its migration target. It covers employees and daily time-off records, within SD Worx's limit of 1,000 employee-months per day.
◆ Where it's heading
After a summer of new European accounting and HRIS connectors, the newest entry is maintenance driven by a vendor's auth change. Apideck now handles migrations inside the catalog by marking legacy connectors with a target.
◆ Prediction
The entries show a six-week gap before this one, so the cadence of new connectors is unclear; expect more migrations as vendors retire password-based access.
GravityKit
5.0INFRA · APIS
GravityKit folds every GravityView extension into one Pro plugin.
◆ Current state
GravityKit ships a weekly Launch Log across its Gravity Forms add-ons, mostly security fixes and small field options. The November 12 release bundles every GravityView extension and layout into one Pro plugin with Live Filters, Connected Views and an Edit Window; the November 13 log adds paid, ranked Featured Tiers, a Pages with this View menu and more security fixes. October's notable items were Visual Merge Tags, AI-built boards and AI-managed calendars.
◆ Where it's heading
GravityKit is consolidating a sprawl of separate add-ons into fewer, larger products while steadily adding AI-assistant hooks to individual tools. Paid Featured Tiers suggest the Pro bundle is also a vehicle for listing and directory use cases.
◆ Prediction
Expect the weekly logs to continue with security fixes, and more products to follow GravityView into bundled editions.
