The Verdict
OutSystems is built for enterprises and it departments, with a focus on visual-development and ai-assistant. Tally Forms targets startups and freelancers and leads with form-builder and conditional-logic.
OutSystems uses custom enterprise pricing, while Tally Forms starts at $29/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, OutSystems offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Tally Forms takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: Tally Forms has a slight overall edge — but if enterprise-grade security and compliance matters most to you, OutSystems may still be the right call.
