Tally, a powerful Notion Forms alternative

Notion has launched Notion Forms!

If you're a Notion user, you can now create simple forms directly within your Notion workspace. While this new feature is perfect for basic internal data collection, you might need something more advanced for customer-facing forms or complex workflows.

That's where Tally comes in! With our Notion-inspired interface and native Notion integration, you get the familiarity of Notion plus the power of a dedicated form builder.

What are Notion Forms?

Notion Forms is a new feature that lets you create forms directly within your Notion workspace. Available on all Notion plans, it allows you to collect information from anyone, even if they don't use Notion. Every form connects directly to a Notion database, making organising and analysing responses easy.

Notion Forms key features:

Create forms from scratch or add them to existing databases

Collect responses in Notion databases

Make forms anonymous when needed

Customize submission messages and button text

Share forms with anyone (Notion users or external respondents)

Set up automations based on form responses

Create different views (tables, charts, boards) to analyze responses

Pricing options

Free plan: Create and share unlimited forms, with access to all essential form features

Plus ($12 per seat/month): Everything in Free plan plus additional form customization options

Business ($18 per seat/month): All form features from Plus and additional Notion workspace features

Keep in mind that the per-seat pricing model means costs increase with each team member who needs access to forms in your workspace.

Tally: A dedicated form builder with a Notion-like feel

If you love Notion's clean interface, you'll feel right at home with Tally. Our form builder uses familiar keyboard shortcuts and a minimalist design that makes form creation feel natural for Notion users.

While simple to use, Tally packs powerful features like conditional logic, payment processing, and native integrations. These let you build anything from basic surveys to complex workflows with automated actions.
