People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Strong enough for champs.
"We can finally delegate work with confidence and focus on growing the business.
"A paper-based approval for critical purchases could take a couple of days before if someone was waiting for a director to be available for a signature. Now approvals are often completed in minutes.
"Tallyfy has been transformative for us. It's reduced manual errors, sped up processes like onboarding, and helped us document workflows that are critical as we grow. The ability to track tasks and aggregate them in one place saves us so much time and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.
"Tallyfy is intuitive, fun and visually appealing. We can quickly gather every detail we need from our client in order to finish it on time. All the documents, specific details and comments are in one place.
"It has become a regular thing that people say 'put that in Tallyfy'. They know it by name. It has become the executive approval tool for our company. We have bi-weekly Tallyfy calls where we review what needs approval and what is pending - it keeps everyone aligned.
"It used to take us two days to run monthly client campaigns, now, with the help of Tallyfy, we complete them in just a few hours!
"Tallyfy is a very reliable way to delegate and track tasks with confidence. It has taken the guesswork out of the equation and has helped our team focus on delivering a service within deadlines. Thank you for making my life much easier!
"Tallyfy transformed how we manage client onboarding and policy renewals. It eliminated inefficiencies, reduced meeting times from hours to minutes, and helped us avoid costly penalties by automating key processes. We now have full visibility over tasks, and I no longer need to chase down updates - it's all right there.
"With Tallyfy, we have seen clarity in our processes as well as any bottlenecks. Tallyfy would be a good fit for any company that has a design, approval and implementation process that needs to have a quick turn around and that is growing fast.
"Our clients and team sail through the Tallyfy process - there is no need for clients to log in, there is one link for everything they need to do, everything saves in real-time - it all works incredibly well! I can't imagine scaling our agency without Tallyfy.
"Tallyfy has helped our team streamline the efficiency of our processes. We now have smooth processes from beginning to end - without any steps being forgotten or skipped.
"Tallyfy has revolutionized how we manage our marketing projects at West Community Credit Union. It allows us to quickly launch tailored campaigns and track every moving part, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. The ease of creating flexible, repeatable processes has saved us significant time and improved team collaboration.
"If you want to be efficient and scale your business then Tallyfy is the way go. There is no question about it.
"Routing multiple documents is far quicker and there's immediate accountability and oversight. After switching to Tallyfy, routing documents and layouts went from taking over a week to taking just 2-3 days.

Tallyfy vs. GuideCX
Universal process engine. Any process, any team.
One platform for any process, not just one lane.
AI readiness comparison
How GuideCX and Tallyfy compare on AI-native capabilities
Onboarding-only tools can't help with the rest of your operations. AI agents need to work across process boundaries, not just one use case. Tallyfy has a live MCP server with 100+ tools that connects to ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot Studio.
Which tool is right for you?
Honest comparison to help you make the right choice
Tallyfy is best for
- Teams needing one platform for ALL workflows - onboarding, operations, HR, and more
- Organizations wanting predictable pricing without 4-user minimums
- Teams requiring standardized processes across departments, not just onboarding
- Operations teams that need flexibility beyond external-facing workflows
GuideCX may be better for
- Teams focused exclusively on external-facing onboarding
- Organizations with budget for specialized single-purpose tools
- Enterprise teams with complex CRM integration requirements
Here's why people don't like GuideCX
This is third party content sourced from the public web. You can verify this content if you wish. See our disclaimer and citations section below.
" There are some quirks to the software, and some items that have not been developed yet. The software can lag sometimes, especially if there is a new release.[1] "
" It is difficult for the customer to initially access (usually customer firewalls don't allow access to the project). You can't copy and paste a checklist from one task to another inside a project. Our training was horrible, and the person had no clue how we were going to be using it at all.[2] "
" Software occasionally becomes buggy and you need to log out and restart.[3] "
" There are times when the platform is slow and has outages.[4] "
" Any downsides I can think of are nitty gritty software things, like you can't copy a task from one project to another. This is only a downside because it is something we could really use.[5] "
" I cannot change task due dates in mass. I have to do it task by task. So if a date gets pushed, I have to change it for each individual person, and then for each task beyond that.[6] "
" I talked to a guy from the software, but they wanted $500/month for 4 users minimum and I only needed 1 user![7] "
" The platform can be overwhelming for new users and the learning curve is quite steep. Some features feel unnecessarily complex for what should be simple tasks.[8] "
" GuideCX is only useful for onboarding workflows. We ended up needing a separate tool for our internal processes, which doubled our software costs.[9] "
" The reporting is limited and we could not get the metrics our leadership needed. Exporting data for custom reports was painful.[10] "
" When a customer sends a message through GuideCX, it only reaches one person instead of the entire team. Additionally, these messages sometimes get flagged as spam, leading us to rely on email communications instead.[11] "
" Lack of starter templates, has to be built from scratch. It would be hugely beneficial for GuideCX to provide starter templates that have proven effective in leading successful implementations.[12] "
" The user interface of GuideCX is confusing and overwhelming, with some mentioning that it can create extra clicks. Simple actions often require multiple clicks, resulting in a time-consuming experience.[13] "

Tallyfy might not be right for you if...
Tallyfy isn't for everyone. Here's when it may not fit:
- Not specialized exclusively for onboarding - we handle all workflow types
- Deep native CRM integrations may require middleware setup
- If you only need external-facing onboarding and nothing else, GuideCX may be more focused
- Resource capacity planning features are simpler than enterprise onboarding tools
