People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Robust 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 vs. Tettra
Which tool is right for you?
Honest comparison to help you make the right choice
Tallyfy is best for
- Teams escaping knowledge base chaos where content piles up but nothing runs
- Organizations needing to execute and track processes, not just store documents
- Operations teams wanting automated assignments and deadline tracking
- Groups needing conditional logic and dynamic workflow routing
- Anyone wanting process analytics based on actual execution data
Tettra may be better for
- Small teams building a simple internal wiki or knowledge base
- Organizations primarily storing reference documentation
- Teams using Slack heavily who want searchable docs in channels
- Companies with documentation that rarely needs active tracking
Here's why people don't like Tettra
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.
" Multiple editing at the same time is not possible unlike other tools.[1] "
" While Tettra covers some bases, there's always room for improvement. For example, adding more customization options for templates or enhanced analytics could elevate it further.[2] "
" Tettra could really benefit from more options for diagrams, fonts, and color formatting. Being able to add more visual elements and adjust text styling would make technical documentation clearer and easier to follow, especially for complex processes.[3] "
" Some bugs here and there but they respond quickly to support requests and resolve ASAP - Support is specific hours and is difficult to get support on off hours.[4] "
" I think it would improve the process to enter the information, for example, it would be excellent to have exportable data points from user pages, as well as sortable columns. Since only one person can work on a draft at a time, Tettra should create a collaborative editing option.[5] "
" Tettra provides an easy interface, but feels limited in its feature set. When I need to incorporate more granular permissions or live collaboration I use Google Drive.[6] "
" The search functionality could be more robust. Sometimes it's challenging to find specific information quickly, especially when dealing with a large knowledge base.[7] "
" The interface can feel clunky at times, and the organization of content isn't always intuitive. It takes some time to get used to the navigation structure.[8] "
" Tettra is documentation storage only. It does not track if anyone actually follows the processes you document or notify when tasks are due.[9] "
" The Slack integration is limited. You can search docs from Slack, but cannot execute workflows or track completion there.[10] "
" Search functionality is limited, making document retrieval slow in large knowledge bases. Customization of page layouts and design options is minimal.[11] "
" User permission controls lack detailed access management for different roles. No offline access available, hindering use without internet connection.[12] "
" Tettra's real-time collaboration features are not as robust as some competing platforms, potentially hindering team productivity in dynamic environments.[13] "

Tallyfy might not be right for you if...
Tallyfy isn't for everyone. Here's when it may not fit:
- Tallyfy is designed for execution, not general knowledge storage - may be overkill for pure wikis
- No free-form wiki pages - Tallyfy structures content as runnable workflows
- Requires active process execution - not ideal for rarely-accessed reference material
- Best for repeatable processes - general company knowledge may fit better in a wiki
Documentation that actually runs
Living processes, not dusty documents

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tettra used for?
Tettra is primarily a knowledge base and documentation tool. While it helps document processes, it doesn't actually track or run them in real-time. This is a crucial limitation because documenting a process doesn't guarantee anyone will follow it. Think of Tettra as a digital filing cabinet - it stores information but won't ensure it's being used effectively.
What exactly is Tallyfy and how is it different?
Unlike simple documentation tools, Tallyfy is a complete workflow management system that actively tracks and manages processes in real-time. It eliminates workflow chaos by automatically monitoring each step, delegating tasks, and ensuring consistent quality outcomes. The system helps organizations save about 2 hours per person daily by automating tracking and follow-ups. It's the difference between having a map (documentation) and having a GPS with real-time navigation (Tallyfy).
Does Tettra have a discount for certain countries?
Tettra doesn't offer GDP-based pricing or country-specific discounts. In contrast, Tallyfy provides thoughtful, lifetime discounts based on each country's GDP per capita through our Fair Price Guarantee. This ensures fair pricing globally and makes premium workflow management accessible to organizations worldwide.
Why isn't process documentation enough?
Documentation alone won't solve operational challenges. Common questions like "What's the status?", "Did you complete that?", or "What's next?" still persist with documentation tools like Tettra. Tallyfy addresses these issues by actively tracking progress, automating follow-ups, and providing real-time visibility into process execution.
How does Tallyfy handle process improvement?
Tallyfy enables continuous improvement through a simple feedback system where users can leave comments directly within processes. These comments go to process owners for review, creating a structured improvement cycle. Unlike static documentation in Tettra, this allows real-world process refinement based on actual execution experience.
How does AI integration differ between Tettra and Tallyfy?
While Tettra might offer basic AI features, Tallyfy integrates AI thoughtfully in specific, practical ways. It includes capabilities for automatic file migration, SOP processing, and even computer-use AI that can control mouse and keyboard actions for advanced automation. This targeted approach gives you more practical value than generic chatbot implementations.
What security standards are supported?
Tallyfy maintains high security standards, including BIMI and HSTS compliance. Tettra's security features are more basic and don't include these advanced protocols, making Tallyfy a more secure choice for organizations handling sensitive workflow data.
How can I see real customer reviews of Tallyfy?
You can view real customer testimonials and success stories at Tallyfy's customer showcase page. These reviews highlight real-world implementations and benefits experienced by organizations using Tallyfy for their workflow management needs.
What do teams typically dislike about wiki-style knowledge bases?
Teams searching for SOP solutions often find that wiki-style tools like Tettra become a "total mess" over time. One operations team described their Google Drive full of procedures as impossible to navigate - and moving to another wiki would not solve that. The core problem is information scattered everywhere with no way to track if anyone follows it. Tallyfy provides structured processes that connect directly to execution, not just more document storage.
Why do knowledge bases become impossible to maintain over time?
The more content you throw into a knowledge base like Tettra, the bigger the mess becomes. Eventually you cannot even get anything useful out - you are stuck. This is the worst form of data robbery: your team spent hours documenting processes, but now that knowledge is buried in a maze of folders and pages nobody can navigate. Tallyfy solves this by connecting documentation directly to active execution - every process runs as a trackable workflow, not a static page lost in a wiki.
Can Tettra prove that people actually read and follow documented procedures?
Knowledge bases like Tettra can show if someone opened a document, but not whether they followed the procedure in their actual work. One healthcare operations team specifically needed to "ensure people actually follow the SOPs, not just read them once." Tallyfy tracks task completion as work happens, creating an audit trail that proves compliance - not just document access.
Does Tallyfy offer free professional services?
Yes, unlike Tettra, Tallyfy provides free professional services to help ensure successful implementation and adoption. To learn more about these services and how they can benefit your organization, schedule a chat with our team.
