Paperform vs Tally

Paperform

• Small businesses selling services, bookings or products through a form
• Teams that want unlimited users on a flat-priced plan
• Forms that have to match the look of a brand's landing pages

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

Paperform

• The Free plan accepts 30 submissions a month, and its Paperform badge cannot be turned off.
• Webhooks, REST API access, custom PDFs, partial submissions and hidden fields all need a paid plan.
• A custom domain costs an extra $20 per month on Pro; Business includes one.
• SAML SSO, roles and multiple workspaces start at Business, at $124 per month billed annually.

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.

Paperform

Doc-style editor and templates

Edit a form like a document, adding questions with slash commands, or start from one of 30,000+ templates. A one-at-a-time mode shows a single question per screen.

Payments and subscriptions

Take payments through Stripe, Square or Braintree with no Paperform transaction fee on any plan. Subscriptions and coupon codes need a paid plan.

Appointment bookings

An appointment field takes bookings inside a form, manages availability and syncs events to Google Calendar. Booking submissions are unlimited on every plan.

Logic, scoring and calculations

Conditional logic shows or hides questions, content and emails, and scoring works on every plan. The calculation field is one of five paid-only field types.

AI form creation and insights

Describe a form in plain language and AI drafts it, which is included in the Free plan. AI help with calculations and AI report insights need a paid plan.

Papersign and Stepper workflows

Each plan includes documents signed through Papersign, 3 a month on Free and 25 on Pro, and multi-step workflow automations built in Stepper.

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.
