Discover Tally, Typeform, Jotform, Airtable, and a 100% customizable alternative
Before we dive into the article, please note that while most illustrative images showcase form integrations on websites, it is important to understand that most of the mentioned tools also offer the ability to generate dedicated URLs. This way, you can easily create forms accessible directly through a unique link, providing additional flexibility for your interactions with users.
Tally: the best tool for no-code forms?
Tally is a no-code tool that stands out for its ease of use and its free offering. It is a popular choice for form creation, but is it the best tool? To answer this question, here are some points to consider:
- Free and unlimited: Tally is free and does not limit the number of forms you can create. This is a significant advantage for budget-constrained businesses or for those needing to create numerous forms.
- Intuitive interface: Tally offers a straightforward interface that makes form creation easy for all sorts of needs, whether it’s surveys or registration forms.
- Easy integration: Tally can be easily integrated with other tools and services, such as Zapier. This allows you to connect your form to over 2000 applications, making data management significantly easier.
Tally is a fantastic tool, but whether it is the "best" really depends on your specific needs. If you are looking for a free tool that is easy to use and offers robust integration options, Tally might be the best choice for you.
While Tally provides a free version covering "99% of features," there is indeed a paid version offering additional functionalities, including branding options.
Typeform: An expensive but powerful tool
Typeform is renowned for its user experience-centered approach. Forms created with Typeform have a professional appearance and are enjoyable to fill out, which promotes user engagement. Moreover, Typeform offers substantial flexibility in terms of customization and integration with other tools like MailChimp, Google Sheets, and many more. It is often cited as one of the best no-code form creation tools.
However, it is worth noting that Typeform can be quite expensive, especially if you require more advanced features. The basic plan starts at $25 per month (billed annually) and includes functionalities such as creating interactive forms, 100 responses per month, and unlimited forms and questions.
If you need more features, such as removing Typeform branding or using a custom subdomain, you will need to upgrade to the Plus plan which costs $50 per month. For even more advanced features like conversion tracking, performance analysis, and priority support, the Business plan is available at $83 per month.
Despite its higher cost compared to other form creation tools, Typeform remains a popular choice among businesses looking to create highly customized and interactive forms. If you can justify the cost and need the advanced functionalities Typeform offers, it might be the right tool for you.
Jotform: a user-friendly tool
Jotform is another excellent no-code form creation tool. It offers a wide range of features, including the ability to create forms with logical conditions, integrate payments, and fully customize the appearance of your forms. Jotform is also known for its robustness and reliability.
Airtable
Airtable is somewhat different from the other tools mentioned so far. It is a flexible database platform that also allows for form creation. Forms created with Airtable can be directly linked to a database, significantly simplifying data management and analysis.
Webflow: An alternative for 100% custom no-code forms
If you are looking to create sophisticated and fully customizable no-code forms, the website creation tool Webflow is the tool of choice. Its form-building feature allows you to design unique forms tailored to your site. Not only does it give you total control over UI/UX, but it also ensures optimal loading speed and lightweight performance for your website.
One of the main advantages of Webflow lies in its ability to provide you with complete control not only over the design of your form but also over data collection and form behavior. Unlike other no-code tools that rely on widgets, creating your form directly on Webflow gives you the freedom to build forms from scratch.
This flexibility is particularly valuable if you already have a Webflow website. It allows you to create forms that perfectly match your brand's identity and the user experience you want to offer. In summary, Webflow is the ideal low-code tool for those seeking a customized and efficient solution for form creation.
Conclusion
In summary, creating no-code forms is a simple and effective way to enhance acquisition and simplify sales funnels on your website. Tools like Tally, Typeform, Jotform, and Airtable make this creation accessible to everyone, without requiring coding skills (or writing a single line of code).
However, the main issue with these tools is that you are often limited in design possibilities and/or see the logos of these solutions appearing on your forms.
So, if you already have a Webflow site, integrating a custom no-code form is an interesting "free" alternative. It offers complete control over design, allowing you to align your form perfectly with the aesthetics of your brand and your website.
Whether you choose to use a dedicated tool or create your own form with Webflow, the key is to choose the option that best meets your needs and those of your audience. At Digidop, we help you make the most of these tools to create forms that not only capture your audience's attention but also gather valuable information for your business from your website.
