Workflow software for running repeatable business processes
Which one is for you
Pick Tallyfy if
- Fits if you want a repeatable process, like onboarding a hire, tracked step by step
- Works for teams that need guests outside the company to do a task without a paid seat
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you pay monthly: a full seat is $30 a month against $25 on a yearly plan
- Watch out: annual plans are a 12-month commitment, non-cancellable and non-refundable for the term
- Too light for a seat that can only complete tasks: light seats can't create or edit templates
- Tight if you want a free plan, because only a 14-day trial is offered
- Watch out: extra AI credits cost $20 per 10,000, and the analytics add-on costs $20 a seat a year
Pick Tonkean if
- Fits if procurement or legal in your company gets requests by email and chat and you want one front door
- Makes sense if employees already work in Slack or Teams
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you're a small team after a self-serve tool, as pricing is a custom quote
- Skip it if you need to see a price first, since none is listed
- Watch out: single-tenant, customer-cloud and on-prem hosting cost extra for Enterprise customers
- Tight if you need phone or chat support at all hours, which comes with the premium tier only

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.
