Onlyform vs Tally

Everything you like about Tally, plus conversational forms and an assistant that drafts them

Tally makes building a form feel like writing a document. Onlyform keeps that single-page simplicity and adds a one-question-at-a-time mode, an assistant that drafts the form for you, payments through Stripe or PayPal, and results you can share as a report.

Free plan, no card required. Import your Tally forms in one click.

Where the two differ

The short version, before the table.

  • Conversational or single-page

    Tally forms are one page you scroll, with page breaks where you need them. Onlyform builds those too, and adds a conversational mode that shows one question per screen for the moments that deserve more attention.

  • A draft written for you

    Describe the form and Onlyform's assistant writes the questions, logic and copy, then refines the draft as you chat. Every plan includes AI requests, the free one too.

  • Payments with Stripe or PayPal

    Take card payments inside the form through Stripe or PayPal. Tally supports Stripe.

  • Results you can hand to someone

    Every form gets a summary with charts, a searchable response list and CSV export, and you can publish the summary as a report link for people who do not have an Onlyform account. Follow-ups can post to Slack or Microsoft Teams when a response matches a condition.

Which one should you pick?

An honest answer, because both are good tools.

  • Pick Tally if

    You want unlimited responses for free and do not mind the Tally branding, or you love writing forms the way you write a Notion page. It is a generous, well-made product for simple single-page forms.

  • Pick Onlyform if

    You want a conversational mode as well as single-page forms, an assistant that drafts the form, PayPal alongside Stripe, a results report you can share, and Microsoft Teams in your follow-ups. You keep your Tally forms: import them in a click.

Bring your Tally forms with you

Connect your Tally account and import any form, questions and logic included, as a new draft in your workspace. Nothing changes on the Tally side until you decide.

Questions people ask before switching

Yes. Connect your Tally account from the form creation screen, pick a form, and Onlyform copies its questions and logic into a new draft in your workspace. You can import as many as you like.
