Typeform vs Tally

How Tally, a European Forms & surveys tool, compares with Typeform on the signals a privacy-conscious buyer actually checks: who owns it, where it hosts, and its exposure to the US CLOUD Act.

In short

Tally (Belgium, Ghent — EU-owned, data stored in the EU, CLOUD Act exposure: Material via Google Cloud and US sub-processors) is the more European-operated of these two form builders. Typeform began in Barcelona but is now US-funded and runs on US infrastructure, which is why European buyers no longer treat it as the 'EU' option by default. Neither is fully US-free: Tally hosts on Google Cloud's Belgium region. The honest difference is corporate control and transparency — Tally is a bootstrapped Belgian company with a publicly published DPA, while Typeform's funding and hosting moved across the Atlantic.

Verdict

Typeform vs Tally: which should you pick?

This is the comparison where the obvious assumption is wrong. Typeform's Barcelona origins lead many teams to file it as 'the European one', but it is now US-funded and US-hosted, so for a sovereignty assessment it behaves like a US-infrastructure vendor. Tally (Ghent — EU-owned, CLOUD Act exposure: Material) is the more European-operated choice: a bootstrapped Belgian company, EU data region, and a publicly published DPA.

Be precise: Tally is not a clean zero-exposure pick. It hosts on Google Cloud's Belgium region, so its CLOUD Act exposure is material — the same rating, for different reasons, as Typeform. What Tally gives you is European corporate control and transparency, plus a much more generous free tier.

Pick Typeform if design polish and refined templates are the deciding factor for brand-facing forms. Pick Tally if EU operation, a public DPA, and free-tier economics matter more — and if you need zero US infrastructure, treat both as interim and check the no-US-subprocessor forms options on the category page.

Switching

Migrating from Typeform to Tally

Typeform-to-Tally is a quick rebuild — the two tools share a conversational style, so most forms port in well under half an hour.

  1. Archive your Typeform responses. Export existing responses to CSV from Typeform's Results panel. Tally does not import historical Typeform data, so this is your record.
  2. Rebuild in Tally. Recreate your questions in Tally's Notion-style editor. The one-question flow maps almost directly; add logic, calculations, file uploads, or a payment step where you had them.
  3. Reconnect integrations. If Typeform fed Google Sheets, Notion, Slack, or a webhook, set up the equivalent Tally connection so downstream automations keep running.
  4. Swap the embed, keep Typeform live briefly. Publish the Tally form, update embeds and links, and leave the Typeform accepting responses for a couple of weeks to catch anything in flight.
FAQ

Typeform vs Tally — frequently asked questions

Isn't Typeform already a European form builder?
Typeform was founded in Barcelona, and many buyers still assume it is the European choice. In practice the company is now US-funded and runs on US infrastructure (AWS), so for a data-sovereignty assessment it no longer behaves like an EU-operated vendor. Tally, by contrast, is a bootstrapped Belgian company (Tally BV, Ghent) storing form data in the EU. Tally is not zero-exposure — it hosts on Google Cloud's Belgium region — but its corporate control and data region are European, which is the distinction that matters here.
Which has the lower CLOUD Act exposure, Typeform or Tally?
Both carry material exposure, for different reasons. Typeform runs on US infrastructure and is US-funded, so US sub-processors sit in the core path. Tally is EU-owned and stores data in the EU, but its host is Google Cloud (Belgium region), a US-owned hyperscaler, so its exposure is Material. The practical edge goes to Tally on ownership and transparency — it is a European company with a public DPA — rather than on a clean zero-exposure claim, which neither can make.
Will my Typeform questions transfer to Tally?
There is no one-click importer, but both tools share the same conversational, one-question-at-a-time style, so rebuilding is quick. Recreate your fields in Tally's Notion-style editor and reconnect any integrations (Sheets, Notion, Slack, webhooks). Export your existing Typeform responses to CSV first as an archive — Tally collects new submissions rather than importing historical Typeform data.
Is Tally cheaper than Typeform?
Generally yes, and the free tier is the headline difference. Tally's free plan covers unlimited forms and submissions within fair-use limits, including logic, payments, and file uploads; paid plans start at €20. Typeform's free tier is more limited on responses and questions, with paid plans starting higher. For high-volume or budget-sensitive use, Tally's economics are materially better.
Does Tally match Typeform on design and logic?
On logic, yes — Tally supports conditional logic, calculations, multi-step forms, file uploads, signatures, and payments. On polish, Typeform still leads: its animations and design templates are more refined, which matters for brand-facing surveys and lead-gen landing forms. The trade-off is design finish (Typeform) versus EU operation, a public DPA, and a more generous free tier (Tally).
Where is Tally's data stored?
Tally states data is stored on servers within the European Union, with the data controller located as Tally BV in Ghent, Belgium. The nuance for procurement-grade buyers: the DPA discloses sub-processor categories rather than naming the host, and independent review shows Google Cloud's Belgium region underneath. EU company, EU data region — but a US-owned hyperscaler at the hosting layer, hence our rating of Material.
