Which one should you pick?
Pick Dropbox Sign if
You’re building around simple guest releases. Formerly HelloSign, now bolted into the Dropbox stack. Free tier caps at 3 signature requests a month — enough for solo podcasters with light contract needs, painful for shows recording weekly.
Pick Tally if
You’re building around unlimited free guest forms. Tally is the indie favorite for guest questionnaires because the free tier is actually unlimited, unlike Typeform's stingy 10-response cap. The UI is a touch less polished than Typeform's conversational forms, but you're saving $30 a month and getting Stripe and Notion integration for free.
