Is Tally.so free? What costs money and what does not

Yes, Tally.so is free to start. The free plan gives you unlimited forms and unlimited submissions, plus logic, calculations, payments, signatures and a free AI assistant for building forms. The catch is the finish: removing the Tally badge, using your own domain or adding a teammate needs Pro at $29 a month.

So the honest answer is "free for the basics, paid for anything that makes the form look like yours". Here is exactly where the line sits.

What is free on Tally

• Unlimited forms and unlimited submissions
• Conditional logic and calculations
• Payments, with no fee on top of Stripe's own
• Signatures
• File uploads, up to 10 MB per file
• A free AI assistant that builds forms for you

What costs money on Tally

Everything below is on Tally's pricing page behind a paid plan. Pro is $29 a month, or $290 a year. Business is $89 a month, or $890 a year.

Which paid feature do free users hit first?

In the 2025 and 2026 Reddit threads about Tally, the same two surprises keep coming up. People style a form, then find that some design options are Pro. And people want to see answers from visitors who did not finish, then find that partial submissions are Pro too. Neither is hidden on the pricing page. It is just easy to build the whole form before you reach the wall.

The third one is the badge. Light users in particular describe Pro as expensive when the one thing they want is the badge gone.

The $0 route

Qwenvo is a free form builder with the same document-style editor, and it has no paid plans. Every feature in the table above is on for every account. To get a form that looks like yours:

1. Create an account. No card, no trial clock.
2. Click New form. On the empty-form screen, describe the form to Create with AI, or start from one of the 180+ free templates.
3. Type / to add or change blocks.
4. Open Settings and switch off Qwenvo branding.
5. Publish, then use the Share tab for the link, an embed or a custom domain.

Where Tally is the better pick

Where Tally is still the better pick: your data has to be hosted in Europe, you want a tool with five years of reviews behind it, or you depend on an integration Qwenvo does not have yet.

A quick way to decide

• Stay on Tally Free if the form is internal, a badge does not bother you and files stay under 10 MB.
• Pay for Tally Pro if you need European hosting or your team already works in Tally, and the $290 a year is easier than moving.
• Use Qwenvo if you want the badge off, your own domain, teammates and partial submissions without a subscription.

Free on Qwenvo also covers extras Tally does not list at any price: AI triage on up to 10,000 submissions a month, an audit log of who published, deleted or exported what, and uploads of up to 1 GB per file. You can try all of it on one form in about ten minutes. Start from the contact form template and see whether it feels right.
