    Your own brand arrives with Pro, at $29 a month

    On Tally's free plan, a "Made with Tally" button sits on every page of the form. Removing it, a custom domain and custom CSS are Pro features at $29 a month, and that CSS sits outside the scope of its support. Growform removes its branding and supports custom CSS on every plan.

    “The ability to create brand aligned formatting conditional logic, and varied response types is quite limited for a "pro" product.”

    Ad tracking starts on Pro and reports two events

    On Tally, Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel are Pro integrations that send two events, a page view and a submit. Google Tag Manager goes in through the code injection block on a Pro custom domain. Growform fires Google Ads, Meta and GA4 key events on every plan, with GTM containers on Professional.

When Tally is the better choice

Choose Tally for a simple form with no budget behind it. A survey, a waitlist, a feedback form or an internal request is built in the time it takes to type the questions, since the editor works like a text document, and the free plan runs unlimited forms and submissions with conditional logic, hidden fields, webhooks and Zapier included. Payments through Stripe and signatures cost nothing extra, the company is based in Ghent and hosts every submission in the EU, and Pro at $29 a month adds your own domain, branding removal and unlimited collaborators.

Choose it too when the form is a prototype or an experiment, because Tally AI builds one from a prompt and imports a Typeform, a PDF or a CSV. Among Tally alternatives, Growform earns its place once the form sits under an ad budget and the team needs TrustedForm certificates, a phone number checked before the lead is sent, Google Tag Manager firing on every step and each lead delivered to the CRM with its source attached.

How to switch from Tally to Growform

A Tally form becomes a Growform form in an hour or two. The questions paste across, the integrations reconnect and the embed is a snippet.

Start from a template and split the page into steps

Open the lead capture or quote template nearest your Tally form, paste the questions in and group related ones on a step, with the contact fields last. The Theme panel sets your primary color, font and width, and custom CSS covers the rest.

Reconnect the sheet, the CRM and the pixels

Point a webhook or a Zap at the Google Sheet, Notion base or CRM your Tally integration fed, send the lead alert to the same inbox, and paste your Google Ads and Meta conversion IDs under Tracking & tagging. Add your GTM container on Professional.

Swap the snippet and close the Tally form

Replace the Tally embed or popup on your landing page with the Growform snippet, keep the URL your ads point at, export your Tally submissions to CSV and close the form so the old link stops collecting.

Growform is built for the industries that live on leads

Pick your industry to see what the form asks, how the leads arrive qualified, and about the live template you can start from today.

Finance & insurance

Qualified applicants, with the consent certificate attached.

Lead buyers want proof of consent, and call centers want fewer people who were “just researching prices”. Our best-practice life insurance template first asks about coverage, health and stage before anything personal, can verify the phone number before it’s submitted, and can record a TrustedForm or Jornaya certificate with every submission.

First step of the Life insurance template
  • TrustedForm and Jornaya consent certificates in one click
  • Asks about a second applicant only when there is one
  • Phone and email verified before the lead is submitted

Tally alternative FAQ

What is the best alternative to Tally for lead generation?

Growform is the best Tally alternative for lead generation. Tally's Meta pixel and Google Analytics integrations start on its Pro plan at $29 a month and send a page view and a submit, while Growform fires Google Ads, Meta and GA4 conversion events on every plan. Tally's free plan suits simple forms.

Among other Tally alternatives, Jotform and Typeform have free plans for general forms, and our round-up of multi-step form builders covers the wider field. The full list is on our alternatives hub.

Is Tally good for lead generation?

It works for a simple contact form, but it was built as a general-purpose form tool. Its ad pixels start on Pro, and phone numbers are only checked against a format mask. Growform is made for forms under paid traffic, with conversion tracking on every plan and real-time phone validation.

How does Tally pricing work in 2026?

Tally has three plans. Free is $0 with unlimited forms and submissions under a fair use policy that treats 50,000 submissions a month, three or four months in a row, as extensive usage and leads to a custom plan. Pro is $29 a month or $290 a year, shown on its pricing page as $24 a month billed yearly, and covers branding removal, custom domains, custom CSS, partial submissions, collaboration and the Google Analytics and Meta Pixel integrations. Business is $89 a month or $890 a year, or $74 a month billed yearly, and adds data retention controls and verified emails. Figures from its pricing page and help center on 6 October 2026. The Tally on this page is tally.so, the form tool from Ghent, not the accounting software of the same name.

Why pay for a form when Tally is free?

Each lead has already cost an ad click, so the money is lost when the ad platform never learns which clicks became leads, a fake phone number reaches the sales team or a lead buyer asks for a TrustedForm certificate the form never captured. Growform's plans are priced for that job, and a free Tally form is still the right choice when no ad budget sits behind it.

Does Growform have a free plan?

Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, with no card to enter, so you can build the form, embed it and see real leads arrive before you pay. Tally's free plan stays free for as long as you use it, with its badge on every page of the form.

How does a Growform form report a lead to Meta and Google Ads?

On every plan, you enter the Google Ads or Meta conversion ID under Tracking & tagging and the conversion event fires the moment the form is completed, with a setting to report qualified leads only. GA4 key events and X work the same way, and Professional adds your own Google Tag Manager containers, which fire tags as the visitor moves through the steps. See conversion tracking.

Can I move my Tally forms to Growform?

By rebuilding them, which takes less time than the first build did. Open the template nearest your form, paste each Tally question into a field, put related questions on one step and connect the same webhook or Zap. Your past submissions export from Tally as a CSV, and the 14-day trial covers the rebuild.

What happens when I pass my Growform plan's leads?

The leads keep coming. Plan limits are soft, so passing 1,000 leads on Professional brings an alert and time to move up, and every submission still reaches your webhook, your Zap and your inbox in the meantime. Professional can also be raised to 2,000 leads a month for an extra $60 from inside the app.
