Which form builder to pick: Google Forms or Tally?

Google Forms, part of the popular Google Suite, is a go-to for many looking for a quick and simple form builder, mainly because it's already included with every Google account. But if you're looking for more than just the basics, Tally offers advanced form customization that lets you control every aspect from form layouts, color schemes, and typography to button styles, multi-column designs, and input fields, all without requiring any coding knowledge.

Our free plan also includes powerful tools like payment collection, answer piping, custom CSS styling and seamless integrations with popular productivity apps like Notion, Slack, and Airtable. Capabilities not found in Google Forms. Whether you're a student, freelancer, marketer, or business owner, Tally allows you to build everything from simple surveys to complex, multi-page forms with sophisticated conditional logic and personalized user experiences.
