Which one should you pick?
Pick Foyer if
You’re building around premium-feel guest portals. Foyer is built as a secure client portal for accountants and consultants, not for podcasters specifically, but it works surprisingly well as a branded guest hub if you want to look the part. For most shows it's overkill — a Google Drive folder and a Tally form will do the same job for free.
Pick Typeform if
You’re building around premium-feel guest intakes. Typeform invented the conversational form aesthetic and still owns it, which is why it feels nice for guest intakes. The pricing is hard to justify against Tally though — a 10-response free cap and paid plans starting at $28/mo for what most podcasters get free elsewhere.
