The Verdict
Tally Forms is built for startups and freelancers, with a focus on form-builder and conditional-logic. Tana targets power users and researchers and leads with supertags and ai-commands.
On pricing, Tana is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $12/mo compared to $29/mo for Tally Forms. That $17/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.
Both tools are a solid fit for researchers — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
