A Tally alternative for when you need more than forms
Tally’s free plan is genuinely unlimited — unlimited forms, unlimited submissions — and it is more generous than ours. If forms are all you need, that is the honest recommendation. This page is about the case where they are not.
Free plan, no card. Paid plans start at $19 a month.
Why people look for a Tally alternative
Tally’s free plan is genuinely unlimited: unlimited forms, unlimited submissions, no allowance sitting there waiting to close a form in the middle of a campaign. It would be dishonest to write this page as though that were not true, and it is more generous than our own free plan, which covers one website with one form or calendar on it. So this is not a comparison about limits, and any page telling you Tally has a hidden cap is selling you something. It is a comparison about scope. Tally builds forms, and that focus is deliberate and it is most of why it is good. A Sorraia account covers forms, booking calendars, shops, AI chat and WhatsApp buttons, each live with one copy-paste, on client-scoped sites you run from one dashboard. If forms are the whole job, that breadth is weight you would be carrying for nothing — and you should stay where you are.
The differences that are structural, not marketing
Every claim below was read from Tally’s own pricing or documentation on 3 September 2026, and each one links the page it came from. If one of them has gone stale since, the linked page wins and we would rather you found out there than took our word for it.
Tally’s pricing page served us euros rather than dollars, which means any figure we printed would be a number for one region presented as if it were yours. So this page compares what is capped, metered and charged extra for — which does not change with currency — and links their pricing page for the amount.
Tally’s free tier is more generous than ours, and we are not pretending otherwise
Unlimited forms and unlimited submissions on a free plan is a strong offer, and Sorraia’s Free plan does not match it: one website, and one form or calendar on that website. Where our free plan is unusual is the submission side — those are uncapped for us too, on every plan — but on form count alone, for a free user, Tally wins and the number is not close.

Tally is forms; Sorraia is forms, booking calendars, shops, AI chat and WhatsApp buttons
The reason to look past Tally is not that its forms are worse, it is that the next thing you need is not a form. One Sorraia account covers forms, booking calendars that show the visitor’s timezone, shops whose payments land in the site owner’s own Stripe, AI chat that answers from the site’s indexed pages, and WhatsApp buttons — each live with one copy-paste, all in one dashboard across client sites. If your client needs a form this month and a booking calendar next month, that is one dashboard rather than two vendors.

Tally embeds in a frame; a Sorraia form is styled to match
Tally’s embed puts the form in an iframe with a small script that resizes it as the content changes. That handles the height problem neatly, and it still leaves the form as a separate document, so your site’s CSS does not reach inside it. A Sorraia form is styled to match instead: its colours start from the site’s brand kit when you create it, and you can change them in the builder. Whether that matters depends entirely on how closely the form has to match the page around it.

Tally’s branding stays until its Pro plan
Tally carries Tally branding until Pro. A Sorraia form embed carries no Sorraia badge, on Free or on any paid plan. That is a narrow row to win, and it does not change the recommendation above: if forms are all you need and the badge does not bother you, Tally’s free tier is still the more generous one. Check Tally’s current pricing for the Pro figure.

Side by side
The same four questions for both. Every Tally cell repeats a claim from the section above and links the page it was read from; where we hold no claim from Tally’s own pages, the cell says so instead of guessing.

When Tally is the better choice
When you need forms and nothing else. That is not a hedge, it is the recommendation. Tally’s free tier is more generous than ours, its editor is quick and pleasant to work in, and if the job is a contact form, a survey, a waitlist or an application, you will spend less and be happy. Come back if the job grows a booking calendar, a checkout, an AI agent answering questions on the site, or a client who needs their own scoped login. Until then Tally is a good product, and this page is not going to invent a reason to leave it.
Questions
Is there a catch in Tally’s free plan I should know about?
Not that its pricing page shows: the free plan lists unlimited forms and unlimited submissions, which is more generous than ours. Removing Tally’s branding needs its Pro plan. Anything that page does not say, this page has not compared.
What else comes with a Sorraia account besides forms?
The same account, embedded the same way, also gives you a booking calendar that offers slots in the visitor’s own timezone, a Stripe-backed product checkout, an AI chat agent that answers from your own site, and WhatsApp buttons. Each one belongs to one of your websites, and a client can be given a login to just that site.
Are my submissions counted or capped?
Neither. Submissions are uncapped on every plan, so a busy month never closes a form. The Free plan’s limit is on how much you build — one website, one form or calendar on it — rather than on how many people fill it in.
Can I try it without paying?
Yes. The Free plan has no time limit and needs no card: one verified website, one form or booking calendar on it, plus shops, AI chat and WhatsApp buttons, with 25 AI conversations a month. Paid plans start at $19 a month.
Try it on one site before you move anything
The free plan covers one verified website with no card, and the embed is the same one you would use on a paid plan. Build a contact form, put it live with one copy-paste, and see how it looks on a page you already own.
