Tally

Tally Freemium Beginner

This is the submissions layer. Tally gives you unlimited forms and responses for free, so people can add themselves to your directory or request to be listed without you building anything. It pipes submissions straight into Airtable, so a new entry lands in your database ready to review. That manual review step is a feature early on, since you want to control quality before you automate.

  • Unlimited free forms and submissions with no response cap
  • Sends entries directly into your Airtable database
  • Lets you approve listings by hand before they go live
