The Tally Alternative With a Real Form Endpoint
Tally builds great forms. PaceForms builds them too — and also receives submissions from the forms you already have, and stores any field without a schema.
Where PaceForms wins
Built for the Forms You Already Have
A real submission endpoint
Point any existing HTML form at PaceForms and submissions start arriving. Tally has no submission endpoint — its API manages forms and submissions inside Tally.
Schema-less capture
Send any fields you like. A redesign or a new field breaks nothing — PaceForms stores whatever arrives.
Builder and backend in one
Build forms visually, or keep your own HTML and use the endpoint. Same account, same inbox.
MCP built in
Your AI assistant can read submissions directly over MCP — no exports, no copy-paste.
Spam stays out
Anti-spam agents on every form, plus your choice of Cloudflare Turnstile or Google reCAPTCHA.
One platform account
One sign-in across apps, pick your data region, backups and restore, clear one app, delete everything once.
Short links you can shape
Every form gets a short pace.ad link to share anywhere — and you can customise the URL to match your brand or campaign.
Granular pricing

Frequently Asked Questions
PaceForms vs Tally, answered.
Can I point my existing HTML form at Tally?
No. Tally's API builds and manages forms inside Tally. It does not give you an endpoint to receive submissions from a form you already have. PaceForms does — set your form's action attribute to your PaceForms endpoint and you're live.
What happens when I add a field to my form?
Nothing breaks. PaceForms captures submissions without a fixed schema, so new or renamed fields are stored as they arrive.
Does PaceForms have a form builder like Tally?
Yes. PaceForms includes a visual form builder and a form backend in one product. Build visually, or bring your own HTML.
Can an AI assistant read my submissions?
Yes. PaceForms supports MCP, so an assistant can read your submissions directly.
Is Tally cheaper?
Tally has a free plan; PaceForms starts with a 7-day free trial. PaceForms adds what a standalone tool can't: data region choice, account-level backups and restore, and one delete that spans every app. Paid features are granular, so you only pay for what you use.
How do I move from Tally to PaceForms?
Rebuild the form in the PaceForms builder, or keep your own HTML form and point it at your PaceForms endpoint. Either way takes minutes.
