The Verdict
Memory is built for knowledge workers and freelancers, with a focus on automatic-tracking and ai-categorization. Tally Forms targets startups and freelancers and leads with form-builder and conditional-logic.
On pricing, Memory is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $8/mo compared to $29/mo for Tally Forms. That $21/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Tally Forms edges out on user ratings (4.6 vs 4.2). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Both tools are a solid fit for freelancers — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
Bottom line: Tally Forms has a slight overall edge — but if fully automatic tracking matters most to you, Memory may still be the right call.
