Tally
✓ Verified by EU AltsFree, simple form builder — a Belgian alternative to Typeform.
Overview
Tally is a Ghent, Belgium-based European company building form builder software since 2020. Despite its EU base, EU Alts has verified that Tally independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Belgium, and hosts customer data with Google Cloud in Belgium (EU), so it may still fall under the reach of the US CLOUD Act — worth weighing against Typeform and Google Forms on this specific point.
Why European teams pick Tally
Teams in Europe still consider Tally for its form builder product and Belgium presence, operating since 2020, but unlike a fully EU-owned provider, Tally independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Belgium, and hosts customer data with Google Cloud in Belgium (EU) — so it does not fully avoid US CLOUD Act exposure the way some other alternatives to Typeform and Google Forms do.

What is Tally?
Tally is a Brussels-based form builder founded in 2020, offering a Notion-like free-form editing experience with unlimited forms, unlimited submissions, and no branding on the free plan.

What does Tally do?
Tally is free, simple form builder — a belgian alternative to typeform. It is listed under form builder on EU Alts because its core functionality serves teams looking for a European form builder tool with EU data residency, typically as a switch away from Typeform and Google Forms.
Is Tally a good European form builder alternative?
Tally is a fit for European businesses evaluating form builder options where data residency and GDPR alignment matter — typical buyers include EU-based SaaS teams, public-sector projects, regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal), and any organisation that needs to demonstrate that customer data does not leave the EU.
Is Tally GDPR compliant?
Tally is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium and processes user data under the GDPR by default. Customer data processing is supervised by Belgium's data protection authority, the Autorité de protection des données (APD/GBA). However, EU Alts has verified that Tally independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Belgium, and hosts customer data with Google Cloud in Belgium (EU), which means — unlike a fully EU-owned provider — it may still be reachable under the US CLOUD Act, similar to Typeform and Google Forms in that respect.
How do teams switch from Typeform to Tally?
Teams evaluating a move from Typeform and Google Forms to Tally should note: Tally independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Belgium, and hosts customer data with Google Cloud in Belgium (EU), so this switch narrows but may not fully close the US CLOUD Act gap. Weigh that against the form builder workflow fit before treating it as a complete Schrems II fix.
