Tally.so
Rich form builder — surveys, waitlists, payment collection, unlimited free
Tally.so
Role
Backs rich, multi-field forms across the family — surveys, waitlists, feedback collection, payment-collecting forms, anything that needs conditional logic, file upload, or multi-step flow. Complements Web3Forms, which stays as the simple contact-form backend.
Free tier
- Unlimited forms
- Unlimited submissions
- Unlimited email notifications
- Form logic (conditional branching)
- File upload
- Custom domains, embeds, integrations
Card / subscription required?
NO. Free tier sign-up is email-only. No payment method requested, no trial expiry.
Alternatives
- Typeform (paid past 10 responses/mo — rejected)
- Google Forms (works but visually inconsistent with the family)
- Formspree — POST-only, no UI builder
- Fillout, Youform
Swap cost
Medium — Tally hosts the form UI, so swapping means rebuilding the form in another tool and updating the embed URL. Submissions export as CSV for migration.
Why this is our pick
The only “rich form” tool with an unconditionally-free unlimited tier that doesn’t require a card. Submission cap on Typeform’s free tier made it unusable; Tally’s free tier is functionally the paid tier of most competitors.
Cross-refs
- Web3Forms — simple contact forms only
- Data canonical store policy
- No card-on-file rule
