People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Powerful enough for pros.
"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.
"We can finally delegate work with confidence and focus on growing the business.
"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!
"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 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.
"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.
"When asked for an update on a pending request, I would have had to look through several email threads, make phone calls, and often have to wait for a reply to give an accurate update. I can now go into Tallyfy and view all of the information in one place. In two seconds, I am able to update the requestor on the status of their order.
"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.
"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.
"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.

A submitted form lands on a pile
A form tool collects the entry and leaves the follow-up to whoever spots it, while in Tallyfy the same entry starts a process, and you choose who does each step.
Tallyfy vs. Jotform
Full workflow after submit. Not just a form.
The alternatives
Form capture · Stops at submit
In Tallyfy, each form submission starts a process, and every step after it is tracked.
AI readiness comparison
How Jotform and Tallyfy compare on AI-native capabilities
Forms collect data but don't route it. AI agents need the workflow that follows the form, not just the form itself. 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?
A straight comparison to help you make the right choice
Tallyfy is best for
- Requests that several people must check or approve after the form comes in
- Routing steps to a job title or group, so the work reaches the right team
- Forms from clients or vendors, who can fill them in without a Tallyfy account
- Teams whose form entries sit in a spreadsheet until someone remembers them
Jotform may be better for
- Standalone surveys with no follow-up work
- Collecting data that nobody needs to act on
- Quick polls and feedback forms
Here's why people don't like Jotform
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.
" Sometimes, there are delays on the sender's end showing that the form has been completed. It's usually not long - a few minutes, at most, but it can be annoying when we're on the spot. Their service is so bad ... in the end I was unable to continue using it because it would crash for clients and they would need to fill things out again. There have been times when my emails have either been rejected, or have ended up in a Client's SPAM folder.[1] "
" We've had so many issues with Jotform. Simple things like being able to add some custom CSS is not available in their Card Form templates. There's no option to even align the text or change the line height. This meant that we had a large block of centrally aligned copy with is really poor for UX and accessibility. The latest issue ... is that although it says you can remove all Jotform branding in the pricing tables, it's simply not true.[2] "
" The main concerns about Jotform are the lack of customization options in terms of format, limited export options, and restrictions on form submissions for free plans.[3] "
" Limited customization options for advanced users without coding knowledge. Some features are locked behind higher pricing tiers, which might be a drawback for small businesses. The mobile app could use improvements in terms of usability and feature parity with the web version. Occasionally, there are issues with form submission notifications not being sent out promptly. Performance can be sluggish with more complex or heavily used forms.[4] "
" The fact you need to clear the form cache every now and again or the forms break also is bad.[5] "
" A wider range of customisation options (size, shape, etc) wouldn't be a bad thing to see, and some of the options could be a little clearer and easier to understand.[6] "
" Used Jotform for a few months and regret it. The interface is clunky and outdated. Setting up conditional logic is a nightmare compared to other tools. Plus their pricing structure makes no sense - you pay more but get fewer features than competitors. Not recommended.[7] "
" The submission limits are frustrating. We hit our monthly cap mid-month and had to upgrade or lose data. Form submissions just stopped working without clear warning.[8] "
" Jotform is fine for simple surveys but falls apart for anything complex. The moment you need workflows or approvals after form submission, you realize it is just a form collector.[9] "
" We wasted months trying to connect Jotform to our actual business processes. Forms sat in a spreadsheet. Nobody knew what happened next. Zero visibility into follow-up actions.[10] "
" Jot Form not only disabled our non-profit form but suspended our account - all without notice or explanation. We were mid-campaign when this happened and could not even access their contact form because we were locked out.[11] "
" They charged me twice and will not give me my money back even though I have been asking for it for 7 whole months. I had to cancel my card to stop them from taking more payments.[12] "
" Despite properly setting conditions for elements to be hidden, they consistently appear on the live forms. This error has persisted across various attempts at troubleshooting. JotForm likes to make changes to things without telling anyone, which causes serious problems for those who have forms connected to other systems like Zapier.[13] "

Tallyfy might not be right for you if...
Tallyfy isn't for everyone. Here's when it may not fit:
- A poor fit if you only need a survey with no follow-up
- Not built for quick polls
- Built for teams, so one person collecting data alone may not need it
- You need to decide what happens after each form is submitted

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Jotform used for?
Jotform is mainly used to build online forms and collect the answers. In Tallyfy, a form is usually the first step of a process that your team then works through.
What does Tallyfy do?
Tallyfy runs work your team does again and again. You set up the steps once as a template. Each time a form comes in, Tallyfy launches a new copy, so ten requests become ten separate processes you can follow.
Why isn't a form on its own enough?
Because most forms start work that several people share. One person checks the entry, another approves it, and a third acts on it. In Tallyfy, each of those is a step with a deadline, and the tracker shows where each one stands.
How is Tallyfy priced?
Per seat, and you can start with one full member. Guests are free and unlimited, and single sign-on (SSO) comes free on every paid plan. Our rates are on the pricing page.
How does Tallyfy handle process improvement?
People flag a problem right on the task they're working on, and everyone assigned to that task is told. They can also comment on a template step to suggest a change. The template's owner then updates the template, so the next process uses the fixed version.
How does Tallyfy use AI?
You can connect the AI you already pay for, such as ChatGPT or Claude. It reads a task and the form answers, then completes the step or leaves a comment. Tallyfy's AI can also turn an SOP saved as a Word or PDF file into a template. For steps that need clicks and typing in another app, use a computer AI agent you connect.
What are the main problems with Jotform?
Jotform's plans below Enterprise cap how many forms you can build and how many submissions you get each month. The reviews quoted earlier on this page cover the other complaints.
How can I see real customer reviews of Tallyfy?
Read them on Tallyfy's customer page. It has reviews and stories from teams that run their processes in Tallyfy.
Does Tallyfy offer free help and services?
Yes. You get free 1:1 onboarding and support, and we help you move your forms and processes over at no charge. To get started, schedule a chat with our team.
How do I get started with Tallyfy?
Book a demo with our team. We'll set up a trial for you and show you the process one of your own forms could start.
What happens when teams outgrow basic form builders?
The form often stays the same while the work after it grows: more people, more approvals and different paths for different answers. In Tallyfy, the form starts a process, and automations act on its answers. A large request can go to a senior approver, and steps that don't apply stay hidden.
Does Tallyfy keep an audit trail?
Yes. Tallyfy records who did each step and when, and those audit records can't be edited or deleted, even by an admin. You can export them as a report when an auditor asks.
