Best Form Construction Software Ever
You know how some things just look too good to be true? That's how I felt when I first discovered Tally. A fully featured form builder with virtually everything you'll ever need, totally free as long as you don't repeatedly go over 50,000 submissions a month?
YES. 50k.
It's not too good to be true - in fact if anything the truth is better. The interface is easy to learn and works well, there's a comprehensive range of options and features and the logic is easy to implement and manipulate. My first project involved a relatively short event booking form but with dozens of different potential routes through, starting with 11 different types of events, all of which required different combinations of info to be gathered.
The end result is slick, responsive (it looks great on mobile) wastes nobody's time with irrelevant questions and gets us everything we need.
You'd be happy with that most of the time wouldn't you?
How about if you could export the data (even each individual response as it lands) to Google forms or any one of a bunch of other apps? My collected data goes to google forms where it is transposed into a simple plain text document that lists all the relevant info and is emailed automatically to everyone who needs that info.
Bye Bye Cognito
Bye Bye Survey Monkey
Bye Bye Typeform
and the rest of 'em.
What you can't do with the free version of Tally is heavily customise the branding. Choose between light or dark themes, add a banner and logo, let the form do the talking. If you want a custom background and fancy CSS for free, get a server, learn Python and write your own software.
But even that won't necessarily get you top customer service when you need it. When I did have an issue with the Tally editor, I got a response from their support team within the hour.
Tally's business model seems to be to provide pretty much everything for free to encourage heavy users to adopt it, and then charge appropriately for enterprise scale solutions. Most of the competition won't even publish a price for over 50,000 submissions a month: Tally won't charge you for less than 50,000. Go figure.
It's a bold strategy, to promote a great product, but don't just take my word for it...
