Tally vs Typeform: Which should you pick?

Why choose Tally over Typeform?

Tally gives you the power to create professional forms without the restrictions. Our free plan is packed with features, and our affordable paid tier unlocks even more possibilities. Whether you're a freelancer, startup founder, student, marketer, or tech pro, Tally's flexible features let you build exactly what you need.

Pricing

Tally

Tally offers unlimited forms and responses completely free. In fact, most of Tally's features are available at no cost — you can create, customize, and share professional forms without worrying about hitting any limits.

If you need additional business features, such as team workspaces, advanced customization, or custom CSS, you can upgrade to Tally Pro for $29/month or Tally Business for $89/month.

Typeform

Similar to Tally, Typeform also provides unlimited forms, but its free plan restricts users to only 10 monthly responses.

To customize your forms and receive more responses, you'll need to upgrade to at least the $29/month plan, which includes just the basic features.

Interface

Tally

Tally's editor is simple and intuitive. Just type to insert content blocks or choose from ready-to-use templates.

The interface allows for easy customization and click-and-drag reordering. Tally offers flexibility in form structure, supporting both multiple-page forms and single-page layouts.

Typeform

Typeform uses a drag-and-drop editor where users click buttons to insert different question types. It limits forms to one question per page.

Typeform offers templates, blank forms, and an AI feature to help create questions. However, the single-question-per-page format may impact the overall form flow.

Features

Tally

Tally doesn't hold back on features. Our free plan offers everything you need to build professional-looking forms, plus essentials like duplicate submission prevention, password-protected forms, and two-factor authentication.

Upgrade to Tally Pro plan, and you unlock a suite of pro tools: team workspaces, unlimited file uploads, custom CSS, code injection, and custom domains. Tally Business unlocks email verification and submissions data retention control.

Typeform

Typeform's free plan is severely limited for serious data collection. File uploads, payments, and even basic form management features require pricey upgrades.

No plan supports embedding online content like audio or maps. For small businesses and creators, these restrictions can be deal-breakers.
