Comparison
These are not competing products and this page will not pretend they are. GravityView takes form entries and publishes them to your visitors as directories, tables and maps. EntryVault takes form entries and gives your team somewhere to work them — a Kanban board, owners, replies. One faces outward, one faces inward.
That single question separates the two products cleanly, and it is more useful than any feature grid.
If a submission is a record other people should see — a business in a directory, a property in a listing, an event on a calendar — you need it rendered on the front end with sorting, filtering and search. That is GravityView, it is very good at it, and EntryVault does not do it at all.
If a submission is work for someone on your side — an enquiry to qualify, an application to review, a lead to chase — you need stages, an owner, a note, a reply and a way to see what is stuck. That is EntryVault, and GravityView does not do that.
GravityKit describe their product as a way to display, edit, export, import and analyse Gravity Forms content. That dependency is not a criticism — it is what lets them go as deep as they do into one data model. But it does mean two purchases, because Gravity Forms itself starts at $59 a year and has no free tier at all.
EntryVault takes the opposite approach and reads from eleven form builders: Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Formidable, Forminator, Ninja Forms, WS Form, Everest Forms, SureForms and Trinity Forms. On a site that accumulated three form plugins over five years — which is most older sites — that is the difference between one inbox and three.

Nothing here is either-or. A site can publish an approved directory with GravityView while the team triages incoming applications in EntryVault, because the two touch entries at different points in their life: one after the decision, one before it.
If you are already a Gravity Forms shop and your only problem is showing entries to visitors, buy GravityView and ignore us. If your problem is that submissions arrive and nobody is sure who is dealing with them, front-end display will not help however good it is.
Choose GravityView if
Your entries need to be seen by visitors — directories, listings, maps, tables, calendars — or submitters need to edit their own records. You are already on Gravity Forms, so the dependency costs you nothing extra, and front-end display is the actual requirement.
Choose EntryVault if
Entries are work rather than content. You want stages, owners, notes and replies, you have more than one form plugin on the site, you would rather not buy a form plugin to get an entry manager, or you want to try the whole workflow free first.
What counts against us. EntryVault's free build is not currently installable from the WordPress plugin directory — the listing is closed while an account matter is resolved, and we do not control that timeline. The free version is a direct download from us in the meantime. GravityKit products install normally.

Yes. GravityView is built to display, edit, export, import and analyse Gravity Forms content, so it needs Gravity Forms installed. Gravity Forms has no free tier and starts at $59 a year, which makes the realistic entry cost around $178 a year at renewal prices once GravityView is added.
GravityView is $119 originally and $79.34 for the first year, GravityView Pro is $199 originally and $132.67 for the first year, and the All Access Pass is $396 originally and $264.01 for the first year. Each is available for a single site, up to three sites or up to 1,000 sites, and GravityView and GravityView Pro also offer lifetime licences. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee.

GravityView publishes form entries on the front end of your site for visitors to browse, search and sometimes edit. EntryVault manages entries inside wp-admin for your team, with a Kanban pipeline, stages, owner assignment, tags, notes and email replies. GravityView works with Gravity Forms; EntryVault reads from eleven form builders. They solve different problems and can be used together.
Not for front-end display of entries, which is what GravityView is for. If what you actually need is somewhere to read and work through submissions in wp-admin, EntryVault has a free tier that captures from eleven form builders and includes a single Kanban pipeline, tags, notes, owner assignment and CSV import and export.
Yes. They touch entries at different points: EntryVault is where a team triages and works a submission, and GravityView is where an approved record gets published for visitors. A site that runs a public directory and an internal review queue has a genuine use for both.
Eleven: Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, Formidable, Forminator, Ninja Forms, WS Form, Everest Forms, SureForms and Trinity Forms. All eleven adapters work in the free tier.
