Where FormTs Stands Out

Real Calculator Engine

FormTs uses TypeScript for complex pricing logic — nested IF/ELSE, tiered pricing, multi-variable calculations. Tally's calculator only supports basic add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

PDF Generation

Generate branded PDF quotes and invoices directly from form submissions — included free. Tally does not offer native PDF output.

API Access

Access your forms and submission data via a REST API on the Pro plan. Tally does not currently offer a public API.

Where Tally.so Stands Out

Unlimited Free Submissions

Tally's free plan includes unlimited form submissions — no monthly cap. FormTs Free includes 100 submissions/month.

Notion-Like Editor

Tally's form builder uses a Notion-style block editor that feels intuitive and fast. Great for building forms quickly without any coding knowledge.

Payment Collection

Tally supports Stripe payments on all plans (5% transaction fee on Free, 0% on Pro). FormTs does not currently offer built-in payment processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this comparison fair and accurate?

We aim to be transparent. All Tally.so data on this page comes from publicly available sources: tally.so/pricing and Tally's help center, accessed in February 2026. If you spot an inaccuracy, please contact us and we'll correct it.

Can Tally do pricing calculations?

Tally has a basic calculator feature that supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It cannot do nested conditionals, tiered pricing, or complex multi-variable formulas. For simple arithmetic totals it works fine, but for real pricing calculators FormTs is the better fit.

Tally has unlimited free submissions. Why would I choose FormTs?

If you need real-time pricing calculators, complex formula logic, PDF quote generation, or API access, FormTs offers these features that Tally does not. If you're building simple feedback forms or surveys without calculations, Tally's generous free plan is excellent.

Does Tally have an API?

As of February 2026, Tally does not offer a public REST API for accessing form data programmatically. You can use webhooks (Pro plan) to push data to external services, but there's no way to query submissions via API. FormTs offers full API access on the Pro plan.
