Questions people ask
Tally is free too. Why switch?
If you work alone and your forms are simple, you may not need to. Formkit's free plan adds things Tally keeps for Pro: partial responses, drop-off by question, version history and people working together.
Which one has more integrations for free?
Tally. It connects to Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier, Make and webhooks on its free plan. On Formkit, Sheets, Slack, Notion, Airtable, HubSpot and webhooks (which Zapier or Make can catch) are on Pro.
How do the paid plans compare?
Tally Pro is $24 a month. Formkit Pro is $6 a seat a month, so a team of three or fewer pays less on Formkit.
Does Formkit build forms with AI?
Yes. Describe the form and Formkit writes the questions. The free plan includes 3 builds and 10 edits a month, and Pro can also build from a brief or a document.
Choose the tool that fits the job. Choose Formkit when the form is part of how people see you.
