The key difference
Tally encrypts data in transit and at rest, but its servers can decrypt your responses. SealForm encrypts each answer in the respondent's browser, so only your team can read it. That matters for health, legal and HR forms, and it's why SealForm offers a BAA.

Questions
Should I switch from Tally?
Tally is a great general form builder. If your forms collect health, legal, HR or financial details, SealForm keeps those answers private in a way Tally's architecture doesn't: they're encrypted in the respondent's browser, and only your team can read them.
Is SealForm's free plan as generous?
SealForm includes unlimited forms and 1,000 responses a month on Free, with the same end-to-end encryption as paid plans.
