What it is, and why we rate it

What it really isTally.so — no-code form builder with an exceptionally generous free tier.
Our takeTally.so is a standalone form builder that serves lead capture and feedback use cases.
Tally runs a freemium model: Pro at $29/mo (~$24/mo annual) unlocks custom domains, branding removal, and team collaboration, while Business at $89/mo (~$74/mo annual) adds compliance controls. The free plan genuinely delivers 99% of core features including unlimited forms, submissions, conditional logic, file uploads, and integrations.
Why we rate itFew SaaS tools deliver this much value on a free tier.
Tally removes the usual free-plan friction points — submission caps, form limits, logic gating — making it a genuine no-compromise option for most individual and small-team use cases.
The catchAll free forms display Tally branding; removing it requires the $29/mo Pro plan.
Advanced analytics (drop-off, visit tracking) are also paywalled. Not a CRO or A/B testing platform — it is purely a form builder.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • Startups and solo creators needing unlimited free forms
  • Educators and non-profits building surveys or registration forms
  • Small teams routing form data into Notion, Airtable, or Google Sheets
Not good for
  • Enterprise teams needing SSO or advanced audit logs
  • Marketers needing built-in A/B testing or conversion optimization analytics
  • High-volume pipelines where fair-use submission limits could be a concern
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: build and publish a working form in under 5 minutes with no account setup friction.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Free tier operates under fair-use guidelines with no hard submission cap stated; very high-volume deployments may need to contact Tally. Per-plan pricing means cost does not scale with team size.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: data flows out via CSV export, Google Sheets sync, Airtable, webhooks, Zapier, and Make — no meaningful lock-in.
