COMPARISONS
AIM FORM vs Tally
Tally is among the best free form builders: simple, no silly caps, comfortable editor. But it's still a form builder. AIM FORM starts there and adds what a form doesn't give: the group ranks options, votes live and gets a reasoned decision. If your problem is «collect data», Tally works; if it's «let's decide», AIM FORM.
The differences that matter
Forms versus decisions
Tally shines at gathering answers. AIM FORM turns them into a decision: winner by consensus and by majority, disagreement flagged, and the AI's recommendation.
Preference voting, not just single choice
In Tally you pick one option. In AIM FORM you rank them all, and the double count separates consensus (Borda) from majority (rounds).
Live and for the room
AIM FORM shows results live and has a projection mode with a QR for the screen. Tally is built to collect, not to decide live.
Head to head
| AIM FORM | Tally | |
|---|---|---|

| Live results + projection | Yes | No |
When Tally is the better choice
- If you want the most flexible free form builder for standard forms.
- If you like its block-style editor and need no voting or verdict.
- If you collect data continuously and the «decision» isn't the goal.
Let your group decide. And know why.
