Free alternatives to Tally
Tally is one of the best free deals in the category, so most people are not leaving over price. The free plan is single-user, though, so there is no way to let a colleague into the account without paying for Pro at $24 a month (as of July 2026). Visit analytics also cover only the past 7 days, the Tally badge stays on your forms until you upgrade, and there is no self-hosted option if you want to own the data outright. The tools below fix those specific gaps.

Best Free Alternative ToTallyUnlimited team members on the free plan, where Tally free is single-user
forms.app is the answer to Tally's one real free-plan weakness, which is that it is single-user. On the free plan you get 5 forms with unlimited responses, unlimited views, unlimited questions and unlimited team members (as of July 2026), so a whole team can build and manage forms without paying. All 30+ field types are free too, including payments, e-signatures, answer recall and auto-scoring quizzes. The trade is the form count: Tally gives you unlimited forms, forms.app stops at 5.
- Free plan, paid from $19/month (as of July 2026)
- Estonia
Estonia- Best for:
- Small teams who want several people in the account without paying for a seat
- The catch:
- Five forms is a hard ceiling where Tally is unlimited, total file storage is only 10 MB, and drop-off analysis and multilingual forms sit on Pro at $29 a month.
Compared to Tally
- Advantage: Unlimited team members free; Tally's free plan is single-user
- Worth knowing: Unlimited responses free on both tools
- Worth knowing: Payments and e-signatures included free, same as Tally
- Advantage: Branding removal is $19/month on Basic, close to Tally's $24 Pro
- Tradeoff: Free plan stops at 5 forms; Tally has no form cap
- Tradeoff: 10 MB of total file storage, where Tally allows 10 MB per uploaded file
Unlimited forms and unlimited seats free, plus two-way Airtable and Notion sync
Fillout matches Tally's unlimited-forms free plan and adds the two things Tally's free tier lacks: unlimited seats and record-level integrations. The free plan covers unlimited forms and unlimited seats with 1,000 responses per month (as of July 2026), and two-way sync with Airtable, Notion and Google Sheets lands answers as records in the tool you already use. Scheduling, Stripe payments and e-signatures are included. The catch is the response cap, since Tally's fair-use ceiling is far higher.
- Free plan, paid from $15/month (as of July 2026)
- United States
United States- Best for:
- Teams whose forms feed Airtable or Notion and need more than one seat
- The catch:
- 1,000 responses a month is a real ceiling where Tally's fair-use limit is roughly 50,000.
Compared to Tally
- Advantage: Unlimited seats free; Tally free is single-user
- Advantage: Two-way Airtable and Notion sync, which Tally does not do
- Worth knowing: Unlimited forms on both free plans
- Advantage: Scheduling built in, which Tally lacks
- Tradeoff: 1,000 responses a month versus Tally's roughly 50,000 fair-use ceiling
- Worth knowing: Full white-labeling and custom domains need a paid plan on both
The one-question-at-a-time format Tally does not offer natively
Youform gives you the conversational, one-question-at-a-time layout that Tally's document-style pages do not, and it keeps the same no-cap promise. The free plan has unlimited forms and unlimited responses for a single user (as of July 2026), with conditional logic, calculations and file uploads included. Pro at $20 a month adds Stripe payments and custom domains, still below most paid tiers here. It is a young product, so the template and integration lists are shorter than you might expect.
- Free plan, paid from $20/month (as of July 2026)
- Best for:
- Solo creators who want the conversational format without giving up unlimited responses
- The catch:
- The free plan is single-user like Tally's, payments need the $20 Pro plan, and the integration list is short.
Compared to Tally
- Advantage: One-question-at-a-time format; Tally forms are scroll-down pages
- Worth knowing: Unlimited forms and responses free on both
- Worth knowing: Free plan is single-user, same as Tally
- Tradeoff: Stripe payments are free on Tally but paid-only here
- Tradeoff: Fewer integrations and templates than Tally
Fully free forever with unlimited responses and no badge on your forms
Google Forms is the fallback when you would rather not think about plans at all. It is free with any Google account, with unlimited forms, unlimited responses, quizzes and automatic Google Sheets export, and there is no vendor badge or upgrade tier waiting (as of July 2026). Where Tally keeps its logo on free forms, Google Forms simply looks plain. It does less than Tally, but everything it does is free with no fair-use ceiling.
- Completely free (as of July 2026)
- United States
- Best for:
- Quick surveys, RSVPs and quizzes where you want zero limits and zero cost
- The catch:
- No payments, minimal design control, and respondents must sign in to upload files.
Compared to Tally
- Advantage: Completely free with no fair-use ceiling
- Advantage: No vendor badge to remove, unlike Tally's free forms
- Advantage: Quiz auto-grading built in
- Tradeoff: No Stripe payments, which Tally includes free
- Tradeoff: Less design polish than Tally's editor
- Tradeoff: File uploads require a Google sign-in
150+ integrations and 20,000+ templates Tally cannot match
If you are leaving Tally because its integration list is thin, Jotform is the opposite extreme: 150+ integrations, 20,000+ templates, approval workflows and a PDF editor. The catch is the free plan, which allows 5 forms and 100 submissions a month with form views metered separately (as of July 2026). That is far tighter than Tally's free volume, so this is a move you make for breadth, not for headroom.
- Free plan, paid from $34/month (as of July 2026)
- United States
- Best for:
- People who need a specific integration or template Tally has never had
- The catch:
- 100 submissions a month is a steep drop from Tally's fair-use ceiling, and Starter is single-user.
Compared to Tally
- Advantage: 150+ integrations and 20,000+ templates against Tally's shorter list
- Advantage: Approval workflows and a PDF editor Tally lacks
- Tradeoff: Free plan caps at 5 forms and 100 submissions a month
- Tradeoff: Form views are metered separately at 10,000 a month
- Worth knowing: Single-user free plan, same as Tally
Open source, so you can self-host and own the data Tally keeps in its cloud
Tally is cloud-only, and if that is the dealbreaker, Formbricks is the fix. It is open source under AGPL-3.0, so you can self-host it with Docker for free with no response caps and keep every answer on your own servers. Its focus is in-app, website and email surveys rather than standalone forms, and the hosted free cloud plan allows 250 responses a month (as of July 2026). It is survey-first, so there are no payments or e-signatures.

- Germany
- Open source (AGPL-3.0)
Germany- Best for:
- Product teams who want in-app surveys or full data ownership through self-hosting
- The catch:
- Free self-hosting means running Docker yourself, and there are no payments or e-signature fields.
Compared to Tally
- Advantage: Self-hostable, so you own the data; Tally is cloud-only
- Advantage: Self-hosting has no response caps
- Advantage: In-app and website survey widgets Tally does not offer
- Tradeoff: No payments or e-signatures, which Tally includes free
- Tradeoff: Hosted free cloud stops at 250 responses a month
How to choose
Start with why you are leaving, because Tally is hard to beat on the basics. If the blocker is that the free plan is single-user, forms.app is the pick: it lets unlimited team members into the account for free and still gives unlimited responses. Choose Fillout if you also want unlimited forms plus two-way Airtable and Notion sync, and Youform if the one-question-at-a-time format is what you were missing. If you want to own the data on your own server, self-host Formbricks.
