Which one is for you
Pick Tally if
- Fits if you want unlimited forms and submissions without paying
- Works for Notion users who build pages out of blocks, or small teams paying for Pro to get their own domain
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if the Tally branding has to go and you won't pay, since that and custom domains need Pro
- Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app for building forms, as it's web only
- Tight if you take big files on the free plan, where uploads stop at 10 MB each
- Watch out: team collaboration, partial submissions, drop-off analytics and the Google Analytics and Meta Pixel links are paid
- Watch out: free use sits under a fair use policy, and around 50,000 submissions a month leads to a custom plan
Pick Typebot if
- Fits if you want a form that talks like a chat on your site
- Works for developers who would rather host it themselves
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, with 200 chats a month and Typebot branding
- Pricey if you want annual billing, since only monthly is offered
- Watch out: a chat counts when a visitor starts a conversation, however few messages follow
- Watch out: WhatsApp, custom domains and in-depth analytics need the $89 Pro plan

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

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
