Why teams switch from Tally to Buildroy
Tally is one of the best free form builders available -- clean Notion-style interface, generous free plan, and no submission limits. If you need a contact form, intake form, or survey, Tally is hard to beat. But Tally is a form builder, not a calculator builder. It cannot do real-time formula calculations that update as a user types. If your goal is to show a prospect their specific ROI, payback period, or cost savings before they submit their email, Tally cannot do that. Buildroy is purpose-built for that use case.
The practical difference: a Tally form collects inputs and shows a static thank-you page. A Buildroy calculator shows a live result that updates in real time as the prospect types. That result -- their specific number -- is what makes them want to leave their email. Buildroy then captures that email alongside their inputs, so your sales team sees not just who converted but what numbers they ran. That context makes the first sales call faster and more informed.
