Why look for a Tally alternative?
Tally’s free plan is generous but quickly hits limits on submissions, fields, or storage, forcing upgrades. Formester’s plans provide more flexibility and a true risk-free option to grow without sudden constraints.
Design, branding, custom CSS, and domain options are restricted in Tally. Formester lets you fully control the look and feel of your forms, creating polished, on-brand forms that reflect your business identity.
Tally is ideal for simple forms but struggles with calculations, advanced conditional logic, and specialized fields. Formester supports complex forms, letting you build smarter, dynamic surveys and workflows easily.
Tally’s integrations with tools like Google Sheets, Slack, or CRMs are limited or locked behind higher tiers. Formester connects seamlessly to multiple platforms, enabling smooth automation and data sync without extra costs.
Tally provides basic reporting, but Formester offers advanced analytics, real-time insights, and data visualization, helping you understand responses deeply and make informed, actionable decisions.
What's the difference?

Tally.so
Tally is a lightweight form builder designed for simple needs. It offers a clean interface but most advanced features like payments, analytics, and automations require a paid plan. Teams often face limits when trying to scale with Tally.
