We crossed $2M ARR with a bootstrapped team of 5.
It all started in 2020 when we asked ourselves:
❌ Why are forms so boring?
❌ Why are they so expensive?
❌ Why do they always look… bad?
What if:
✅ Forms were actually fun to create?
✅ Forms had no volume-based pricing—unlimited submissions for free
✅ We could build an independent company—no VC money, on our own terms?
Fast forward to today, and I couldn’t be prouder to hit this milestone with Tally. Our blog has almost become a personal diary, where we’re documenting every step of the way—and you can find the latest update here.
Great Work!
Thanks!
Hey I have some questions? How do you guys scale the backend, realtime-connections and what databases do you use? Would love to know more about it.
We use Google Cloud Run and Google Cloud SQL. It's been working great so far!
first time coming across Tally, we might incorporate this in our team . Props.
Thanks! Feel free to take it for a spin.
Congrats! This is great. Keep up the good work.
Congrats! I've never heard about Tally but now, I am impressed after reading this post. I wonder what tech stack can be used to make tools like Tally?
Tally is built with React, Next.js, Styled Components, TypeScript, Express.js, Sequelize and mainly runs on Google Cloud Run. 🏗️
Very impressed by what you and the team have achieved.
Out of curiosity why did you try to tackle this problem when there were other players like typeform in the space? How did you identify the USP that would differentiate Tally from the competitors?
We wanted to build a form builder that is actually fun to use and doesn't break the bank. So we moved away from the volume-based pricing most players (like Typeform) have and offered unlimited submissions and forms for free. Our second USP is our interface, no drag and drop like traditional form builders, but a clean text editor-like interface.
Tally is a great product we love to use! Great work!
Thank you!
Congrats Team, We have using Tally in product Boringlaunch from day 1 and its super simple and amazing.
So glad to hear that!
