Bottom line

Our verdict

Tally is the value leader for individuals and small teams that need clean surveys without restrictive response caps. Its editor feels like writing a document, and advanced logic is unusually accessible. It does not aim to replace research suites with panel management or advanced statistical analysis.

Choose Tally if

exceptionally generous free plan is central to your survey workflow, and its limitations do not block the method or follow-up you need.

Look elsewhere if

less research analysis depth is a deal-breaker for your team.
