Honest comparison
Gravity Tables vs Posts Table Pro.
Both render searchable, sortable tables on the front-end of WordPress. They source from completely different places: Posts Table Pro pulls from posts and WooCommerce products. Gravity Tables pulls from Gravity Forms entries. The right pick is fully determined by where your data already lives.
Same UI primitive, different data origins. Pick by what type of content you want to display.
Pick Gravity Tables when
- Your data is submitted through Gravity Forms, orders, applications, intake forms, registrations
- You need users to edit cells from the front-end, not just display them
- You need GF-specific features: per-user filtering, GF validation on edits, conditional logic respect
- You need a totals row that recalculates with filters
- You need role-gated edit permissions down to the column level
Pick Posts Table Pro when
WP-post-and-WooCommerce-product table plugin by Barn2
- Your data is WordPress posts (a custom post type, blog posts, news items)
- Your data is WooCommerce products and you want a tabular product listing as an alternative to the shop grid
- You need add-to-cart buttons inline in a table row
- You're already using Barn2 plugins (Document Library, Knowledge Base) and want consistency
- Your content is fundamentally published content, not submitted data

The bottom line
Posts Table Pro is excellent for showing posts/products in a tabular UI, especially if you want a WooCommerce product table with add-to-cart. Gravity Tables exists at a different layer: the source is form submissions, the headline feature is editability. Different data, different jobs.
