Which one should you pick?
Pick Plutio if
You’re building around podcast production agencies. Plutio's flat-rate model — every feature on every plan, no upsell — is increasingly rare. Core at $19/mo covers up to 9 active clients, which fits a small podcast production agency.
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.

What are the trade-offs?
Plutio: client-count caps on lower tiers. Tally: less polished animations than typeform. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Do they support the same platforms?
Plutio works on iOS, Android where Tally doesn't. If you're on a specific OS or device, that may decide for you.
Can I use Plutio and Tally together?
Both are guest workflow tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using Plutio for one show or episode type and Tally for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
