Feeling constrained by Fillout's response limits?
Upgrade to Tally for powerful, customizable forms without restrictions. Enjoy unlimited submissions for free, plus advanced features at a fraction of Fillout's cost.
But it’s not just about features or cost—our user-friendly editor makes building forms easy and enjoyable. Who says form-building can’t be fun?
Which form builder is right for you: Tally or Fillout?
Fillout, backed by numerous investors, is a powerful form builder offering automated workflows and business features. However, its plans come with monthly response limits, and advanced features like custom code are restricted to pricier tiers. The Business plan, at $89/month, is required for unlimited responses.
Tally, an EU-based bootstrapped alternative, offers unlimited responses and advanced features even on its free plan. Our Tally Pro plan at $29/month includes custom branding and CSS, matching Fillout's higher-tier capabilities at a fraction of the cost. Whether you're a student, freelancer, or business owner, Tally allows you to create everything from simple surveys to complex, multi-page forms without breaking the bank.

Why choose Tally over Fillout?
Tally
Tally offers unlimited forms and responses for free, including most advanced features at no cost. Tally Pro, at $29/month, adds business features like partial submissions, unlimited file uploads, and custom CSS. For organizations needing more, Tally Business ($89/month) provides email verification and submissions data retention control. All plans offer better value compared to Fillout's tiered pricing structure.
Fillout
Fillout offers a free plan and four paid tiers, with submission limits on all but the highest plans. Businesses looking for custom branding, emails, and CSS can subscribe to the $49/month Pro plan.
Additional business features are available as a Conversion Kit add-on, priced at $100/month in addition to your plan cost.
Tally
Tally's interface is intuitive and flexible, allowing you to type and add elements using shortcuts—just like using a text editor. You can easily create multi-column layouts and rearrange elements with simple drag-and-drop.
You can customize each block by clicking on it, which also includes any individual text. Any paid features are clearly labelled, so you don’t get caught out.
Fillout
Fillout offers a simple drag-and-drop interface with categorized elements for easy access. While you can create columns, resizing adjacent elements is challenging.
All field types are available to select, but there's no clear distinction between free and premium features until you insert them into your form. To continue, you need to upgrade or remove the premium block.
Tally
Tally focuses on simplicity with powerful functionality across all plans. Our free plan offers advanced logic, calculated fields, and rich media embeds—just to name a few.
Create forms in any of 40+ supported languages and set up custom redirects post-submission, all without cost. Need more? Tally Pro unlocks custom domains and team collaboration, while Tally Business offers submissions data retention control.
Fillout
Fillout offers automation workflows and AI-powered template creation, with basic embed options like PDFs and voice recordings. However, many essential features are only available on paid plans.
Custom endings and signatures start at $19/mo, while advanced features like custom domains and Meta Pixel integration are only available at $89/mo. This may require costly upgrades for full functionality.
Do more with Tally
Fillout offers powerful features, but if you’re running a business and want to remove limitations, you’ll need to upgrade to the Pro Plan at $49/month or beyond. Tally, on the other hand, bundles advanced features in a simple $29/month plan so you can customize forms without the limits.

How easy is it to customize Fillout forms compared to Tally?
