Bottom line: Tally when the job is honest form-building without a paywall — a real free tier with unlimited forms, submissions and CSV exports forever, then Pro at $29/mo billed monthly ($290/yr annual, displayed as ~$24/mo equivalent). Typeform when you need a design-forward, polished form experience for teams and the budget exists: Basic at $28/mo billed annually ($39 monthly), free plan capped at 10 responses/month and Typeform branding. Localization splits them: Tally's interface is probe-verified in Simplified Chinese (auto zh-CN), while Typeform's workspace ships English and Spanish platform UI with an en/fr/es site switcher — its forms can be answered in Chinese, but admins work in English chrome. So localization does favor Tally here; price and polish decide the rest.
