A side-by-side editorial comparison of Duplicati and GravityKit — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Duplicati vs GravityKit: at a glance
What is Duplicati?
Duplicati's canary brings back one-click updates and restores disk backups to VHD files.
Duplicati 2.4.1 stable added delta backups for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace and scheduled restore tests. The 2.4.1.101 canary brings back the automatic updater, now a helper that verifies and installs the signed package for each OS, lets a full disk backup be restored into a raw, VHD or VHDX image, and adds an on/off switch per backup. It also fixes a scheduler that silently used UTC and a case where a vanished USB or network destination was recreated empty.
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.

Duplicati
5.0INFRA · APIS
Duplicati's canary brings back one-click updates and restores disk backups to VHD files.
◆ Current state
Duplicati 2.4.1 stable added delta backups for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace and scheduled restore tests. The 2.4.1.101 canary brings back the automatic updater, now a helper that verifies and installs the signed package for each OS, lets a full disk backup be restored into a raw, VHD or VHDX image, and adds an on/off switch per backup. It also fixes a scheduler that silently used UTC and a case where a vanished USB or network destination was recreated empty.
◆ Where it's heading
The canaries alternate between new restore paths and closing cases where Duplicati looked fine but wasn't, such as silent failures, wrong time zones and missing destinations. The updater makes it easier to keep desktop and server installs on the fixed versions.
◆ Prediction
Expect updater fixes in the next canaries, given that this is its first version, and the disk-image and scheduler work to move into the next stable.
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.
