Typeform vs Tally
Typeform made forms beautiful with its one-question-at-a-time approach. Tally showed up and made forms free with no limits on submissions. For most people, the Tally free tier is more generous than Typeform's paid plans.

The Verdict
Tally's free tier is more generous than Typeform's $25/mo plan. Let that sink in. Unlimited forms, unlimited submissions, conditional logic, file uploads, payment collection - all free. Typeform's edge is real but narrow: the conversational one-at-a-time format genuinely gets better completion rates for surveys, and the design polish is a step above. If beautiful survey experiences are core to your business, Typeform delivers. For everything else - contact forms, feedback forms, sign-up forms, internal forms - Tally wins and it's not a hard decision.
How to switch from Typeform to Tally
Full Typeform export guide →- 1Open each Typeform you want to migrate, go to Results, and use 'Download responses' to export existing submissions as a CSV file - do this for every form since there's no single bulk export across your account.
- 2Write down each form's question list, required fields, and any logic jumps or conditional paths so you can rebuild the structure accurately in Tally's editor.
- 3Recreate the form in Tally using its block-based editor, then set up the same conditional logic, calculations, or payment fields using Tally's free logic and Stripe integration.
- 4Reconnect your automations: rebuild Zapier/Make zaps, Google Sheets syncs, or Slack notifications to point at the new Tally form instead of Typeform's webhook or integration.
- 5Test the new Tally form end-to-end (including logic branches and payment flow if used) with a few dummy submissions before sharing the live link.
- 6Swap the embedded/shared Typeform links across your website, email signatures, and docs for the new Tally form URLs, then keep the old Typeform account active in read-only mode until you've confirmed no historical data is needed.
Typeform vs Tally: common questions
How do I export my forms and responses from Typeform before switching?+
Go into each Typeform, open Results, and use the 'Download responses' option to export submissions as a CSV or Excel file. There's no bulk one-click export for form structure (questions, logic jumps) across your whole account, so you'll need to open each form individually and note its logic before rebuilding it in Tally.
What do I lose by moving from Typeform to Tally?+
You lose the one-question-at-a-time conversational format and Typeform's more polished animations and themes - Tally uses a standard scrolling form layout instead. You'll also lose any deep logic branching that relied on Typeform's more granular condition builder, though Tally covers most common logic use cases for free.
Is Tally's free plan actually enough for a small team, or will we hit limits fast?+
For most small teams, yes - Tally's free plan has no cap on forms or submissions, and includes file uploads, payments, and webhooks. You'll only need the $29/mo Pro plan if you require custom branding, a custom domain, or removing the Tally footer.
Does Tally integrate with the same tools as Typeform (Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, etc.)?+
Yes, Tally connects to Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack, Notion, and Airtable, plus native Stripe payments and webhooks on the free plan. Typeform has a broader native integration library overall, but the core tools most small teams use are covered by both.
How much will we actually save per year switching from Typeform to Tally?+
If you're on Typeform's Basic plan ($25/mo, billed annually), that's $300/year versus $0/year on Tally's free plan - a $300/year saving with no response limits. Even upgrading to Tally Pro at $29/mo ($348/year, or less if paid annually) still buys you unlimited responses instead of Typeform's capped tiers.
