Tally

Unlimited forms and submissions for free — under fair use — not a Typeform brand desk.

The Aiacent take

Tally is the correct desk when the expensive part is a form you will actually publish this week without a 100-response wall: logic, payments, signatures, uploads, Sheets and Notion, under fair use. It is a bad substitute for Typeform when the expensive part is a branded one-question finish, and a bad substitute for Growth Flow when the expensive part is enrichment. Mixing those up is how you stay on Free until the badge is the story — or jump to Typeform Plus and never use the 1,000.

We score it 7.5 as the free-first form — under Typeform on the branded climb, first when the card is the objection. Typeform vs Tally is the two-way. The founder stack is the order.

Public prices come from tally.so/pricing, checked 20 September 2026. The yearly toggle we fetched ('2 months off') lists Pro at €20 a month and Business at €65 a month. Tally's own help ('Tally plans and pricing explained') still prints Pro $29/mo and Business $89/mo. Confirm checkout currency. Free is unlimited forms and submissions within fair-use guidelines — official FAQ. Pro adds badge-off, custom domains, collaboration, partial submissions, custom CSS. Business adds data-retention control, email verification, 90-day version history. We will not invent a leftover Enterprise sticker or an Impact URL.

Tally — Best free-first form. Best for: Founders and marketers who will ship a form this week without a response cap. Skip if: You needed Typeform's branded finish, or Growth Flow enrichment is the brief. Rights-cleared capture goes at public/figures/tally.png. We do not hotlink vendor UIs.

Pros

  • Free is the product — unlimited forms and submissions within fair use, logic included
  • Pro is a brand-and-collab climb, not a response-bucket costume
  • Belgium / GDPR, data in Europe — a real reason some teams stay

Cons

  • Not Typeform. If the leftover job is a one-question branded finish, you bought a Notion-shaped form
  • Official yearly cards we fetched are in euros; help still prints dollars. Confirm checkout
  • Fair use is a real sentence. Treating Free as an unlimited lead mill is how you meet the guideline

Who it's for

  • Founders who will publish a waitlist or intake form this week
  • Anyone who already rejected Typeform Basic as a 100-response costume
  • EU desks that want form data stored in Europe

Who should skip it

  • Anyone whose week is a branded one-question finish (Typeform — is Typeform AI worth it)
  • Anyone whose week is enrichment and Salesforce (Growth Flow)
  • Anyone who has not used Free's fair-use desk

What matters in the product

Free unlimited under fair use

The product. Logic, payments, signatures, uploads. If you will not publish, you bought a toy. Fair use is the wall, not a hidden 100.

Pro brand climb

Badge off, custom domain, collab, partials, CSS. You are buying the mark, not more responses.

Business verify and retain

Email verification and retention controls. You are buying lead quality and GDPR-shaped knobs, not a prettier Pro.

Verdict

Stay on Free until the badge, the domain, or fair use is the wall. Do not buy Pro as Typeform, and do not buy Typeform as Tally.
