Which one should you pick?
Pick HubSpot Meetings if
You’re building around hubspot crm users. HubSpot Meetings is HubSpot's meeting scheduler, free at the basic tier with HubSpot branding and a single 1:1 page, with advanced features behind Sales Hub Starter ($20/user/month) and up. Best for teams already using HubSpot CRM; otherwise the free standalone alternatives are friendlier.
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.
