Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Tally.
Google Forms

Typeform
An online form and survey builder that asks questions conversationally and adds AI automation for follow-ups.
Typeform builds conversational forms with custom branding, video and audio responses and AI analysis, but advanced features are tied to paid plans.
Jotform

Jotform uses a drag-and-drop builder with payment collection and more than 150 integrations, and requires an account to use its hosted service.
Formbricks
Self-hostable survey and in-app feedback platform.
Formbricks is open source and self-hostable, keeping survey responses on your own infrastructure and adding in-app targeting, though self-hosting needs Postgres and supporting services.

Cognito Forms adds calculations, payments, e-signatures and approval workflows, making it more complex than Tally and requiring an account.
