Proofly Forms
vs Tally
Tally is a great standalone form builder. Proofly Forms is built around Framer-native submission capture. Different jobs, different fits.
What each one is for
Tally
A standalone form builder you embed in (or link to from) any site. Strong logic engine, calculations, payment integration, file uploads. Forms live on Tally and embed via iframe.
Proofly Forms
Webhook inbox that captures submissions from forms you build natively in Framer. Today: the inbox + dashboard. Next up: a drag-and-drop form-builder plugin that ships inside Framer.
Pick Tally if…
You want the form on multiple sites
One Tally form embeds anywhere - Framer, Notion, Webflow, the marketing channel of the week.
You need heavy logic right now
Complex conditional jumps, calculations, multi-step with payment - Tally has shipped this for years.
You want a separate analytics surface
Tally's own dashboard for response analytics and exports - independent of your site host.
Pick Proofly Forms if…
The form lives in Framer
You designed the form in Framer's canvas - Tally would mean embedding an iframe that breaks your design system. Proofly captures submissions from the form you already shipped.
You want one workspace, not five
Form submissions, page locks, React exports, payments - all in the same Proofly dashboard, billed on one invoice. No new tool to learn or pay for.
You don't want an iframe
Tally's primary embed is an iframe, which can pull in third-party styles. Proofly Forms captures from the native Framer form you already built, so there is no iframe and no third-party styles bleeding in.
You want the builder in your workspace
The drag-and-drop builder is part of Proofly Forms: design new forms without code, in the same workspace that captures your submissions.

Common questions
Is Proofly Forms a Tally alternative for Framer sites?
If your form lives in a Framer site, yes. Proofly Forms is native to Framer, so there is no embedded iframe, and submissions land in the same Proofly dashboard you may already use for PageLock or other plugins.
Does Proofly Forms embed an iframe?
No. The form is part of your Framer page, which keeps styling consistent and avoids iframe drawbacks like awkward resizing and third-party embeds.
Where do submissions go?
To your Proofly dashboard. Point any Framer form at your unique webhook URL and read, search, and export submissions there, with timestamps, source page, and full payload.
Can I keep using Tally for some forms?
Yes. Some teams keep long, logic-heavy surveys in Tally and use Proofly Forms for the contact and lead forms that live inside their Framer site.
Can I migrate my existing Tally form into Framer?
There is no automated import, but most site forms are short: rebuild the fields with the native Framer form element, point the form at your Proofly webhook URL, and you are capturing in minutes. Export your historical Tally submissions to CSV first so your records stay complete across the switch.
Setting up Framer form capture
If your form already exists in Framer, capture takes minutes: create a free Proofly account, copy your unique webhook URL from the dashboard, and paste it into the Framer form's webhook setting. From then on every submission lands in your Proofly inbox with a timestamp, the source page, and the full payload, ready to search and export. There is no iframe, so your form keeps Framer styling and loads with the page. Basic webhook usage is free up to a submission threshold, with plans on the pricing page. Where Tally genuinely wins today is deep form logic: long multi-step surveys with branching, calculations, and payments are its home turf, and if that is your workload, an embedded Tally form remains a fine choice even inside a Framer site.
When an Embedded Form Hurts, and When It Does Not
An embedded Tally form arrives in an iframe. On a marketing page that means a second document loading inside yours: its own fonts and styles that approximate rather than inherit your design system, a fixed frame that needs height management as questions expand, and a form that analytics tools attribute to tally.so rather than to your page. None of these are fatal, but on a polished Framer site they are visible seams.
A native form has none of those seams: it is made of Framer elements, styled in Framer, loading with the page. Proofly Forms captures what that native form submits, which is why it fits contact forms, lead capture, newsletter signups, and feedback widgets, the forms that live inside your site's design.
The honest flip side: for a long survey you send people to rather than embed, the iframe question disappears and Tally's logic depth becomes the whole story. Many teams draw exactly that line: native Framer forms for the site, Tally links for research.
