Here’s why people don’t like Cognito Forms

Can’t change name of form without breaking every existing form link. Changing a form also changes every previously submitted copy so there is no permanence. Formatting is unattractive and wastes space when exporting a copy to PDF.
Cognito Forms review on G2
Performance can be super slow too… I have times I have to bring up the forms and walk away for an hour or more before data can be seen.
Cognito Forms review on G2
I strongly advise against using this company. If your business relies on functional forms, it’s crucial to have real-time customer service to address any issues that may arise. … Alex L.

Their UI and functionality are just poor. … Alex L.

The software’s interface is clunky and lacks flexibility. This has made it difficult for them to analyze data and navigate through spreadsheets of results.

Summary of connectors and integrations

What is Cognito Forms used for?

Cognito Forms is a basic form builder that lets you create online forms and collect data. However, it’s just a form tool – which means you’re left wondering what happens after someone submits a form. This is a major limitation since forms are usually the start of a process, not the end goal. Unlike Tallyfy, which tracks the entire workflow after form submission, Cognito Forms leaves you in the dark about next steps and process tracking.

What exactly is Tallyfy and how is it different?

Tallyfy is a complete workflow management system that goes far beyond simple form building. It eliminates workflow chaos by automatically tracking every step after a form is submitted. Think of it as combining smart forms with intelligent process tracking – so you always know exactly what’s happening with any request or task. Users typically save 2 hours per person per day, while ensuring consistent quality and scalable operations through automation.

Why is Cognito Forms’ approach problematic?

The main issue with Cognito Forms is the “submit and pray” problem – you create a form, someone fills it out, and then you hope the right things happen next. There’s no built-in way to track what happens after submission, coordinate multiple people, or ensure tasks are completed. Tallyfy solves this by connecting forms directly to trackable workflows, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Does Cognito Forms have a discount for certain countries?

Cognito Forms doesn’t offer any GDP-based pricing or country-specific discounts. In contrast, Tallyfy shows real understanding of global markets by offering lifetime discounts up to 90% off based on each country’s GDP per capita. This makes Tallyfy accessible to businesses worldwide, regardless of their local economic conditions.

How does Tallyfy handle process improvement?

Tallyfy makes process improvement simple and collaborative through an elegant comment system. Users can suggest improvements directly within workflows, and these comments go straight to process owners for review. This creates a continuous improvement cycle that’s missing in form-only tools like Cognito Forms. It’s like having a built-in suggestion box that actually works.

How does AI integration differ between the two platforms?

While Cognito Forms has limited AI capabilities, Tallyfy integrates AI thoughtfully and practically. Instead of generic chatbots, Tallyfy uses AI for specific, valuable tasks like automatically converting existing documents into digital workflows and enabling computer-use AI that can control your mouse and keyboard for automation. It can even help migrate your existing SOPs and process documents automatically.

What happens after form submission in both systems?

With Cognito Forms, form submission is the end of the road – you get the data but no built-in way to manage what happens next. Tallyfy transforms this by making forms the beginning of an automated, trackable workflow. Every submission automatically triggers the right process, assigns tasks to the right people, and lets everyone involved track progress without manual follow-ups.

How can I see real customer reviews of Tallyfy?

You can check out authentic customer reviews and success stories at Tallyfy’s customer stories page. These reviews show how real businesses have transformed their operations by moving beyond simple forms to fully tracked workflows.

Does Tallyfy offer free professional services?

Yes, unlike Cognito Forms, Tallyfy provides free professional services to ensure your success. This includes help with setup, training, and ongoing support. To learn more about these services and get started, schedule a chat with our team.
