Instaform vs Tally

Tally builds beautiful forms. Instaform turns those forms into customers.

Tally is a great free form builder. Instaform is what you need when a form submission needs to become a contact, a deal, a ticket, or a support conversation. Forms are included. The rest is the point.

Which should you choose?

It depends on your needs

Tally is great for a form. Instaform is great for a business.

If forms are where your work ends — store submissions, read them in a table, move on — Tally is excellent and has the most generous free tier in the category. Instaform's Free plan is a trial, not a full product: you get 2 forms, 100 submissions, and the 11 basic fields to feel the Cubby mechanic. If forms are where your work starts — follow up, route, score, close — Starter at $19 is the shorter path. You're not replacing Tally Free; you're replacing Tally plus the CRM you were about to bolt on.

Choose Instaform if:

  • · Form submissions are the start of a workflow (sales, support, survey, lead routing)
  • · You need a CRM, pipeline, or ticket board without bolting one on
  • · You want a link-in-bio surface alongside your forms
  • · You plan to grow past a handful of forms and spreadsheets

Choose Tally if:

  • · You need a beautifully-designed form and nothing beyond reading submissions
  • · You already have a CRM and just need a form tool
  • · Unlimited free submissions is the single most important thing for you
  • · You don't want to outgrow a free tier

Frequently asked questions

If forms are all you need, no — Tally is cheaper. But most small businesses end up bolting a CRM onto Tally (HubSpot Free, Pipedrive, Notion). The moment that happens, Instaform at $19 is cheaper than Tally Free plus any CRM.
Yes. Export your Tally submissions and send us your top forms — our team rebuilds the top five for free when you switch. Tally doesn't expose a direct structure export, so it's manual, but we handle it.
Because Instaform's job isn't ending at the submit button. Conditional logic is how you route different submissions to different Cubbies or different pipeline stages. That routing is work Tally doesn't do, and it's where paid Instaform starts earning the $19.
Instaform. Tally doesn't have a link-in-bio surface. Instaform's LinkPage gives you a Linktree-style front door plus inline forms that feed straight into your CRM — and it's included on Free.
Free lets you build 2 forms, collect 100 submissions a month, publish 1 LinkPage, and see your submissions in a table. It uses the 11 basic field types (text, email, phone, dropdown, etc.). It's a trial to feel the product. When you want to remove the Instaform branding, use your own domain, unlock advanced fields, or use the CRM/Survey/Support Cubbies, you upgrade to Starter at $19/mo.
