HeyForm vs Tally

HeyForm

• Small businesses that want Typeform-style forms at a lower price
• Developers who want to self-host an open-source form builder
• Teams of up to 10 collecting a high volume of responses

Tally

• People who want unlimited forms and submissions without paying
• Notion users who like building a page out of blocks
• Small teams that need unbranded forms on their own domain

HeyForm

• The pricing page does not say what the free plan includes; the listed plans start at 5,000 responses a month.
• Team members, custom domains, custom CSS and removing HeyForm branding all start at Premium.
• HeyForm takes a commission on payments collected through forms: 3% on Basic and 1% on Premium.
• File uploads are limited to 10 MB each on Basic and Premium.

Tally

• Removing Tally branding, custom domains and team collaboration all require Pro.
• Partial submissions, drop-off analytics and the Google Analytics and Meta Pixel integrations are paid features.
• The free plan limits file uploads to 10 MB per file.
• Free use falls under a fair use policy: sustained volumes around 50,000 submissions a month lead to a custom plan.

HeyForm

Conversational forms

Build forms for surveys, questionnaires, quizzes and polls that adapt to mobile, tablet and desktop screens, starting from a template gallery.

Conditional logic and endings

Show questions based on earlier answers, pipe answers into later questions, and send respondents to different endings or redirects.

AI form generation

Describe the form you need and HeyForm drafts it with AI, ready to edit in the builder alongside its fonts, colors and layout.

Payments, uploads and signatures

Paid plans accept payments, file uploads and signatures. HeyForm takes a 3% commission on payments on Basic, 1% on Premium and none on Business.

Open source and self-hosting

The code is on GitHub under AGPL-3.0, and the docs cover one-click deployments and a Docker setup for running HeyForm on your own server.

Integrations

The pricing table lists Zapier, Google Sheets, Airtable, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Salesforce and Slack on every paid plan, and webhooks are supported.

Tally

Document-style editor

Type questions onto a page as in a text document and insert input blocks for contact details, ratings, rankings, dates, file uploads and more.

Conditional logic and calculations

Show or hide blocks, branch respondents and use variables to calculate values, scores and prices. Both are part of the free plan.

Payments and signatures

Build checkout forms that accept payments and collect e-signatures. The pricing page lists both among the free features.

Hidden fields and answer piping

Pass data into a form through URL parameters, pre-fill fields with known details, and mention earlier answers in later questions.

Embeds, popups and custom domains

Embed forms in a website or a Notion page, show them as popups or share a link. Hosting forms on a custom domain or subdomain needs Pro.

Integrations and webhooks

Send submissions to Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack or Coda, post events to webhooks, or reach other tools through Zapier, Make or Pipedream.
