WP Grid Builder does not list a Gravity Forms integration. It queries WordPress posts, custom post types, taxonomy terms, users, and WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads products, so it has no direct way to read the entries Gravity Forms stores in its own database tables. GravityView, by contrast, connects straight to your Gravity Forms data and displays those entries on the front end with no extra setup. If showing form entries is the job, that direct connection is the difference. You can see how that works on our guide to displaying Gravity Forms entries.

The only path is indirect. You first turn each submission into a WordPress post using the Gravity Forms Advanced Post Creation add-on, or the free Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types plugin, then point WP Grid Builder at that custom post type. It works, but it adds plugins and setup, and the converted post is a static copy: later changes to a submission do not sync back, so you end up maintaining two copies of the same record. GravityView skips that detour and reads the entries directly, which our Gravity Forms and custom post types guide explains in more detail.

That is WP Grid Builder’s home turf, and it is the stronger choice there. It is built around real-time faceted search with more than 20 facet types and a drag-and-drop card builder, and it can query and filter posts, custom post types, taxonomy terms, users, and WooCommerce or EDD products, including filtering products by price, rating, sale status, and stock. GravityView only displays Gravity Forms entries, so if your content already lives as posts or products rather than form submissions, WP Grid Builder is the better fit. The two tools sit on opposite sides of that data line, which the GravityView product page makes clear.

Yes, both offer front-end filtering, though they approach it differently. WP Grid Builder centers on a real-time AJAX faceted search with checkboxes, range sliders, ratings, dates, and other facet types, which is a deep filtering engine for grids of content. GravityView includes a built-in Search Bar that lets visitors filter your entries by the fields you choose, plus sortable columns in table layouts. For heavy faceted filtering of posts or products WP Grid Builder goes further; for searching and filtering Gravity Forms entries GravityView does it natively, as shown in our guide to displaying entries.

This is a GravityView strength that WP Grid Builder does not match. WP Grid Builder is a display and filtering tool, so it has no front-end editing, submission, or moderation. GravityView lets designated users edit their own entries from the front end without admin access, and it adds an approve and reject workflow so you can hold submissions until you review them. If people need to manage the records they submit, such as claimable listings or member profiles, that matters. See the GravityView product page for how editing and approval work.

For Gravity Forms entries, GravityView is no code. You build a View with a drag-and-drop layout builder and it displays your entries, with no custom post types or templates required. WP Grid Builder is also visual for the content it supports, but to show Gravity Forms data at all you first have to convert entries into a custom post type, which means extra plugins and setup. So for form data specifically, GravityView is the simpler path, as our Gravity Forms and custom post types guide walks through.

Both can scale, with caveats. WP Grid Builder uses an index table and AJAX requests for fast filtering, but its own documentation recommends not filtering more than about 50,000 posts because performance is constrained by the WordPress database. GravityView includes a DataTables layout in its Pro tier that uses server-side processing, loading big datasets a page at a time rather than all at once. Either way, test with a realistic data volume before you launch. The GravityView product page covers the layouts available for larger lists.

Their licensing differs in both price and what you get. WP Grid Builder starts at $49 per year for one site, with every add-on, maps, caching, and the page-builder integrations, included, and it needs no other plugin. GravityView core costs $119 per year for a single site, and it requires a separate Gravity Forms license from $59 per year. WP Grid Builder has the lower entry price, but the two are not doing the same job: GravityView turns your Gravity Forms entries into front-end web applications you can edit, approve, and export, while WP Grid Builder displays and filters content you have already published. Weigh the cost against the capability you actually need. Both offer a money-back guarantee, 30 days for GravityView and 14 days for WP Grid Builder. Current figures are on the GravityKit pricing page.
