People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Powerful enough for pros.
"We can finally delegate work with confidence and focus on growing the business.
"A paper-based approval for critical purchases could take a couple of days before if someone was waiting for a director to be available for a signature. Now approvals are often completed in minutes.
"Tallyfy has been transformative for us. It's reduced manual errors, sped up processes like onboarding, and helped us document workflows that are critical as we grow. The ability to track tasks and aggregate them in one place saves us so much time and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.
"It has become a regular thing that people say 'put that in Tallyfy'. They know it by name. It has become the executive approval tool for our company. We have bi-weekly Tallyfy calls where we review what needs approval and what is pending - it keeps everyone aligned.
"Tallyfy is intuitive, fun and visually appealing. We can quickly gather every detail we need from our client in order to finish it on time. All the documents, specific details and comments are in one place.
"It used to take us two days to run monthly client campaigns, now, with the help of Tallyfy, we complete them in just a few hours!
"Tallyfy is a very reliable way to delegate and track tasks with confidence. It has taken the guesswork out of the equation and has helped our team focus on delivering a service within deadlines. Thank you for making my life much easier!
"Tallyfy has revolutionized how we manage our marketing projects at West Community Credit Union. It allows us to quickly launch tailored campaigns and track every moving part, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. The ease of creating flexible, repeatable processes has saved us significant time and improved team collaboration.
"Tallyfy transformed how we manage client onboarding and policy renewals. It eliminated inefficiencies, reduced meeting times from hours to minutes, and helped us avoid costly penalties by automating key processes. We now have full visibility over tasks, and I no longer need to chase down updates - it's all right there.
"With Tallyfy, we have seen clarity in our processes as well as any bottlenecks. Tallyfy would be a good fit for any company that has a design, approval and implementation process that needs to have a quick turn around and that is growing fast.
"When asked for an update on a pending request, I would have had to look through several email threads, make phone calls, and often have to wait for a reply to give an accurate update. I can now go into Tallyfy and view all of the information in one place. In two seconds, I am able to update the requestor on the status of their order.
"Tallyfy has helped our team streamline the efficiency of our processes. We now have smooth processes from beginning to end - without any steps being forgotten or skipped.
"Our clients and team sail through the Tallyfy process - there is no need for clients to log in, there is one link for everything they need to do, everything saves in real-time - it all works incredibly well! I can't imagine scaling our agency without Tallyfy.
"If you want to be efficient and scale your business then Tallyfy is the way go. There is no question about it.
"Routing multiple documents is far quicker and there's immediate accountability and oversight. After switching to Tallyfy, routing documents and layouts went from taking over a week to taking just 2-3 days.

Tallyfy is best for
- Teams that run the same process many times, like onboarding or approvals
- Teams whose work passes between several people or departments
- Teams that need clients or vendors to complete some steps
- Managers who'd rather let deadlines and reminders do the chasing
Consider Confluence for
- Knowledge management and documentation wikis
- Teams focused on collaborative document editing
- Organizations using the full Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, etc.)
- Technical teams needing developer-focused documentation
Here's why people don't like Confluence
This is third party content sourced from the public web. You can verify this content if you wish. See our disclaimer and citations section below.
" It might be overwhelming at first; there are plenty of options and personalization elements you can include, so you might think, "It is too much for me"[1] "
" Once you use any external add-ons, the pricing increases.[2] "
" The platform's complexity may present a big learning curve for novices, particularly those unfamiliar with collaborative software. Furthermore, while Atlassian Confluence excels at text-based material, its multimedia embedding and formatting choices may be improved to provide a more aesthetically engaging experience[3] "
" Integration with MS Teams is relatively new and takes a lot of time to transfer data from the created workflows to appear. No auto-refresh functionality, while working simultaneously on one document, it becomes necessary for one person to refresh first. Navigation is not user-friendly. You can't expect a user to understand the navigation of their own, you either would need training for a guide.[4] "
" It is also very manual which means there are no automated workflows for content reuse or localization. Hence can be tedious if being used across geographics unless you have dedicated team for each[5] "
" The "new" Confluence and Jira cloud solution is terrible. It takes a long time to load and update. File storage only works partially. Overall it takes more time to make changes than it should.[6] "
" I never know where to find what I'm looking for, and I never know where I should put something new. Who hasn't run a "How-to" that breaks something because it's outdated? Confluence is where information goes to die.[7] "
" The search is terrible. It's the most common complaint you'll find on Reddit threads and software reviews. The search bar often spits back irrelevant results, buries the right page under dozens of others, or just gives up entirely. Once something's written, finding it again feels like a lost cause.[8] "

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Atlassian Confluence used for?
What exactly is Tallyfy and how does it differ from Confluence?
Tallyfy is a workflow system. You write a process once as a template. Then you launch it as often as you need, say once for each new hire, and every run is tracked on its own. Each step can go to a person, a job title or a group, so work reaches the right people without anyone handing it out. AI can also complete some steps.
Does Tallyfy price differently by country?
How does Tallyfy handle process improvement?
People flag a problem right on the task they're running, and everyone assigned to that task is told. People can also comment on a template step to suggest a change. The template owner reads that feedback and updates the template for future runs.
How does AI integration work in Tallyfy compared to Confluence?
What are the main problems with Confluence?
What is wiki gardening?
How can I see real customer reviews of Tallyfy?
Is setup help included?
How can I try Tallyfy?
Can Tallyfy show who has done their training?
It can. Send a tracked task that everyone on a team must complete, such as confirming they've read a new policy, and you'll see who completed it and when.
Can Tallyfy work alongside Jira?
Yes. Jira can stay where it is for development tasks, and Tallyfy runs the operations work that repeats, such as compliance checks or requests between departments.
