Tally: the best tool for no-code forms?
Tally is a no-code tool that is easy to use and free. It's a popular choice for creating forms, but is it the best tool? To answer this question, here are some things to consider:
- Free and unlimited: Tally is free and does not limit the number of forms you can create. This is a major advantage for companies with a limited budget or for those who need to create many forms.
- Intuitive interface: Tally offers a simple interface that makes it easy to create forms for all kinds of needs, from surveys to registration forms.
- Easy integration: Tally can be easily integrated with other tools and services, like Zapier. This allows you to connect your form to over 2000 applications, making it much easier to manage the data collected.
Tally is a great tool, but the "best" really depends on your specific needs. If you're looking for a free, easy-to-use tool with robust integration options, Tally might be the best choice for you.
Although Tally offers a free version covering "99% of the features, there is a paid version offering additional features, including branding
Typeform : An expensive but powerful tool
Typeform is known for its user experience approach. Forms created with Typeform look and feel professional, which promotes user engagement. In addition, Typeform offers great flexibility in terms of customization and integration with other tools, such as MailChimp, Google Sheets, and many others. It is often cited as one of the best tools for creating forms without code.
However, it should be noted that Typeform can be quite expensive, especially if you need more advanced features. The basic plan starts at 25 USD per month (billed annually) and offers features such as interactive form creation, 100 responses per month included and unlimited forms and questions.
If you need more features, such as removing Typeform branding or using a custom subdomain, you'll need to upgrade to the Plus plan, which costs USD 50 per month. And for even more advanced features, such as conversion tracking, performance analysis and priority support, the Business plan is available for $83 per month.
Despite its higher cost compared to other form creation tools, Typeform remains a popular choice among businesses looking to create highly customized and interactive forms. If you can justify the cost and need the advanced features that Typeform offers, it may be the right tool for you.
Jotform : a simple tool to use
Jotform is another great tool for creating no-code forms. It offers a wide range of features, including the ability to create forms with logical conditions, integrate payments, and fully customize the appearance of your forms. Jotform is also known for its robustness and reliability.
Airtable
Airtable is a bit different from the other tools mentioned so far. It is a flexible database platform that also allows you to create forms. Forms created with Airtable can be directly linked to a database, which makes it much easier to manage and analyze the data collected.
Webflow: An alternative for 100% custom no-code forms
If you are looking to create sophisticated and fully customizable no-code forms, the Webflow website builder is the tool of choice. Its form creation feature allows you to design unique forms, custom-made for your site. Not only does this give you full control over the UI/UX, but it also ensures optimal lightness and loading speed for your website.
