Jotform vs Tally

Jotform

• Solo users who need payments, signatures and forms in one account
• Field teams collecting data on phones and tablets without a connection
• Nonprofits and schools, which get half off the single-user plans

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

Jotform

• Bronze, Silver and Gold are single-user plans; Enterprise is the only multiuser plan.
• The free Starter plan allows 5 forms and 100 submissions a month, and its forms show Jotform branding.
• HIPAA compliance features are limited to the Gold and Enterprise plans.
• Paid plans have no trial period, only a 30-day money-back guarantee; once submission storage is full, the oldest responses are deleted.

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.

Jotform

Drag-and-drop Form Builder

Build forms without code, starting from more than 20,000 premade templates, with conditional logic to show or hide fields and widgets that extend what a form can do.

Online payments

Collect one-time payments and recurring subscriptions through gateways such as PayPal, Stripe and Square. Monthly payment submissions are capped by plan, from 10 on Starter to 1,000 on Gold.

Jotform Sign

Create, share and e-sign documents. Signed documents count against a monthly limit that runs from 10 on Starter to 1,000 on Gold.

Workflows, Tables and reports

Jotform Workflows automates approval steps, Jotform Tables organizes submissions in a workspace, and Report Builder turns responses into charts and grids.

Mobile app with offline collection

The free iOS and Android app collects submissions without an internet connection and has a kiosk mode for gathering many responses on one device.

AI Agents

Agents trained on URLs, uploaded documents or custom Q&As answer questions and guide people through a form over chat, phone, SMS, WhatsApp and email.

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.
