Which one should you pick?
Pick SavvyCal if
You’re building around polished scheduling experience. SavvyCal's calendar-overlay UX is the best scheduling experience for both sides of a meeting, and once you've used it, plain Calendly feels rude. The catch is no mobile app and a thinner native-integration list, so it's the wrong fit if you schedule on the go or live inside Salesforce.
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.
