Tally Alternative
Tally's free tier is genuinely excellent — this page is honest about that. Here's the one thing it can't do.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| ReactForm.co Free | $0 | 3 forms, 10 fields/form, 50 responses/form, code export included |
| ReactForm.co Pro | $12/mo ($9/mo billed annually) | Unlimited forms, fields, and responses |
| Tally Free | $0 | Unlimited forms and responses, file uploads, conditional logic, password protection |
| Tally Pro | $24/mo | Removes branding, custom domain, custom CSS, analytics |
| Tally Business | $74/mo | Data retention controls, email verification |
Tally has the most generous free tier of any tool on this page — unlimited responses for free, with most features unlocked from day one.
Where Tally wins
- Unlimited forms and responses on the free plan — no response cap at all
- Clean, Notion-style builder UI that's fast to learn
- Free native integrations with Notion, Airtable, and Google Sheets
Where ReactForm.co wins
- Exports a real React/Next.js component you can drop into your own codebase — Tally has no code export at any tier
- Per-field Tailwind class control for pixel-level styling without a custom-CSS upgrade
- Built for teams already shipping a React/Next.js product, not hosting a separate embed
Which one should you use?
Pick Tally if: Indie hackers and small teams who want the most generous free hosted form tool, full stop.
Pick ReactForm.co if: Teams who specifically need the form's code to live in and ship with their own application.
Frequently asked questions
Is Tally's free plan actually better than ReactForm.co's?
For raw response limits, yes — Tally's free plan allows unlimited responses, while ReactForm.co's free plan caps at 50 responses per form across 3 forms. If you only need a hosted form and don't need the code, Tally's free tier is hard to beat.
Can Tally export its forms as React code?
No — Tally forms are hosted and embedded, with no code export option at any plan. That's the core difference: ReactForm.co exports the component itself.
When should I pick ReactForm.co over Tally?
When you need the form's markup to live inside your own React or Next.js codebase — for full control over behavior, styling, and deployment — rather than embedding a hosted Tally form.
