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 filed page goes stale while the work moves on
A filed page waits for someone to open it again, but in Tallyfy its lines become steps that people work through and check off.
Tallyfy vs. Tettra
Process that runs. Not docs that get ignored.
The alternatives

In Tallyfy, a written procedure becomes steps people run, and every step is tracked.
AI readiness comparison
How Tettra and Tallyfy compare on AI-native capabilities
Wikis document processes but don't execute them. AI agents need live workflows to act on, not static pages to read. 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
- Teams whose knowledge base keeps growing while nothing in it gets run
- Teams that repeat the same process often and want each one tracked
- Operations teams that want a due date on every step
- Processes where the next step depends on how someone answers a form
- Managers who want to see how their processes really run
Tettra may be better for
- Small teams that want a simple internal wiki or knowledge base
- Teams that mainly need to store reference documents
- Heavy Slack users who want to search docs from their channels
- Companies whose documents rarely need 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 built for running work, so it may be overkill if all you want is a place to write things down
- It has no free-form wiki pages, because procedures and documents live in templates
- Setting up a process takes more work up front than saving a document
- It's best for processes that repeat, so a one-off project gets less out of it

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tettra used for?
Tettra is mainly a knowledge base and documentation tool. Teams use it to write their processes down and store what they know. It doesn't track or run those processes as the work happens.
What is Tallyfy, and how is it different?
Tallyfy is workflow software for work your team repeats. You write each process once as a template. Every time the work comes up, you launch that template as a separate process. Each step goes to a named person, a group or a job title, so everyone knows whose turn it is.
Does Tettra have a discount for certain countries?
Tettra doesn't change its prices based on where your team works. Tallyfy publishes its prices openly, and the only minimum is one full member. SSO is included on every paid plan, while other vendors often keep it for top-tier customers.
Why isn't process documentation enough?
A document can't tell you whether the work got done, so people keep asking "What's the status?" A tool like Tettra doesn't make that question go away. Tallyfy tracks progress on every step and sends reminders when work is due.
How does Tallyfy handle process improvement?
People flag a problem right on the task they're running, and everyone on that task gets notified. They can also comment on a template step to suggest a change. The template's owner reads that feedback and updates the template. Processes launched after that use the new version.
How does Tallyfy use AI?
Tallyfy uses AI for specific jobs. You can connect the AI you already pay for, such as ChatGPT or Claude, and it can complete steps in your processes. A computer AI agent you connect can also do steps that need a mouse and keyboard, and Tallyfy tracks its work alongside your team's.
Which security standards does Tallyfy support?
Tallyfy has a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation and supports BIMI and HSTS.
How can I see real customer reviews of Tallyfy?
Read testimonials and case studies on our customers page. They describe how teams use Tallyfy and what changed for them.
What do teams typically dislike about wiki-style knowledge bases?
Wiki-style tools like Tettra tend to get messy as they grow. Procedures end up spread across pages and folders, and moving them into another wiki doesn't fix that. In Tallyfy, the instructions sit inside each step of a process, so people read them while they do the work.
Why do knowledge bases get harder to maintain over time?
Procedures change, and every change means hunting down each page that still describes the old way. As pages pile up, people stop finding what they need. We call this data robbery: your team spent hours writing procedures down, and nobody can use them. In Tallyfy, each process is one template your team runs, so there's one place to update.
Can Tettra prove that people read and follow documented procedures?
Partly. Tettra can show that someone opened a page. Tallyfy records every completed task with who did it and when, so you have an audit trail. For a sign-off that everyone must give, such as on an updated SOP, you can require each assignee to complete the step.
Does Tallyfy offer free help getting set up?
Yes. Our team gives you free 1:1 onboarding and free help moving your procedures over, and support stays free for life. To find out more, schedule a chat with our team.
