Tally
Free for unlimited responses — and that is the whole pitch.
40
sovereigntyTally is a hosted form builder that works like a text document: you type, and form fields appear where you need them. Its distinguishing feature is commercial rather than technical — unlimited forms and unlimited responses on the free tier, with payment only for branding removal and advanced features. For a team whose objection to Typeform is purely the per-response bill, Tally removes it entirely without any self-hosting. It is proprietary and hosted, so the data-residency objection is unaddressed.
