Tally

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.

Tally is a form builder that became an indie creator favorite by doing something simple and rare: making its free tier genuinely free. Unlimited forms, unlimited submissions, no time limits, with about 99% of the platform's features available without paying. Tally Pro at $29/mo removes Tally branding, adds custom domains, partial submissions, and team collaboration; Tally Business at $89/mo unlocks data retention controls, email verification, and additional admin features. Forms are built in a Notion-style block editor with conditional logic, calculations, file uploads, signatures, native Stripe payments, and integrations with Notion, Airtable, Slack, Google Sheets, and Zapier — all working on the free plan. For podcast guest workflows, Tally fits naturally as the intake form: collect bio, headshot, social handles, topic preferences, recording availability, and any release agreement in one branded form, and pipe submissions directly into Notion or Airtable as your guest database. The cost difference versus Typeform is significant. Typeform caps the free plan at 10 responses a month, unusable for any active show, and Tally's free plan has no such cap. The trade-offs are aesthetic. Typeform's conversational one-question-at-a-time animation still feels more premium for high-stakes guest outreach, and Tally's template library is smaller. For most podcasters, those gaps don't justify the price. For agency-tier work where presentation matters, Typeform might still win.
