Ryvet vs Tally
Ryvet vs Tally: which one fits your form?
Tally for free, beautiful, no-AI surveys. Ryvet when you want the form to qualify, validate, and route automatically.
Tally is the friendly free alternative to Typeform — clean UI, generous free tier, no logic limits. For surveys and internal forms, it's hard to beat. For lead capture on a busy contact page, the trade-offs look different. Ryvet brings AI into the conversation; Tally keeps things static and free.
In one sentence
Tally and Typeform sit in the same category — gorgeous static forms with conditional logic. Ryvet sits in a different category — an AI assistant that captures leads as a side effect of having a conversation. The choice depends on whether you need form-as-survey or form-as-front-of-funnel.

Use Ryvet if…
- Your form is on the contact page and conversion matters more than aesthetics.
- You want validation, qualification, and FAQ-answering inside the chat.
- You're doing cold outreach and need a personalised preview per prospect.
- You want analytics and notifications that look more like a CRM than a form tool.
Use Tally if…
- You need a clean survey or internal form and budget is zero.
- You want unlimited responses on the free tier (Tally's biggest pull).
- You don't want AI in the loop and prefer fully deterministic logic.
- You're building a long, branded questionnaire (research, application, etc).
Pricing
Tally's free tier covers unlimited responses with most features — that's its real edge. Paid tier starts at US$29/month for branding removal and advanced logic. Ryvet free covers 20 leads/month with paid AU$39/month. If your form is doing real lead-capture work, Ryvet's paid tier earns its keep through conversion lift; if you're running a free internal survey, Tally is the obvious pick.
The honest take
Tally is the better free product. Ryvet is the better paid product for lead capture. Use Tally for surveys, applications, and internal forms; use Ryvet on the contact page where every conversion matters.
