Which is better, Answe or Tally?
It depends on how far the form has to go. Tally is the better choice for a free, no-frills form builder: unlimited forms and submissions on the free plan, a Notion-like editor and clean embeds, with the results in a table. Answe is the better choice when the form is one step of a job: the visitor picks a time, orders and pays, or asks for a quote, and your reply continues in the same chat. Both are free to start; Tally Pro is €20 a month and Answe Standard €9.99 a month, as of October 2026.
