The short version

What is Tally?

Tally is a form builder with a document-style editing experience. It supports common inputs, files, signatures and payments, making it useful for surveys, intake and lead collection. Its free offering includes unlimited forms and submissions under fair-use rules. The next decision is what happens to the information after submission: ownership, access and follow-up should be designed with the form.
