The smarter alternative to Make
You don't need middleware anymore. AI replaces connectors. Tallyfy tracks the human work that Make can't see.
- No credits - Simple per-user pricing you can actually predict
- Human work - Track tasks between people, not just data between apps
- Visible workflows - See who did what and when - not invisible data pipes
People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Robust for champs.
"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.
"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 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.
"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!

It allows us to quickly launch tailored campaigns and track every moving part, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

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.
"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.
"If you want to be efficient and scale your business then Tallyfy is the way go. There is no question about it.

Tallyfy vs. Make
Which tool is right for you?
Honest comparison to help you make the right choice
Tallyfy is best for
- Workflows involving human decisions and approvals
- Processes where you need to see who did what
- Client or employee onboarding with accountability
- Compliance workflows requiring audit trails
- Teams wanting predictable per-user pricing
Make may be better for
- Automated data syncing between cloud apps
- Marketing automation without human touchpoints
- Technical teams comfortable with scenario debugging
- Pure integration work with no human involvement
Here's why people are frustrated with Make
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.
" The system charged me 5x the credits instead of 1x but support has never responded. It's already been 2 months.[1] "
" IT WILL CRASH LAG AND FREEZE LOSING ALL YOUR PROGRESS. Glitchy as hell.[2] "
" The support is really bad, you have to rely 100% on user communities. The documentation is also bad, you have to guess how some modules work.[3] "
" Since the time acquired by Celonis, Make has become unreliable. n8n would be a much better alternative.[4] "
" You need to log in multiple times per day just to make sure that your scenarios are still running. The support is ignorant and does not read messages.[5] "
" Very disappointing customer service. They hardly look at what you're asking, answering with standard responses, not helping out or not even responding to tickets.[6] "
" The fact that the polling system uses credits even when no action runs is annoying and potentially a bit of a sneaky way to waste your monthly allowance fast.[7] "
" I spent days building automation using modules available during the free trial, only to discover those modules became unavailable post-trial, requiring payment to continue.[8] "
" A single automation with a five-minute polling trigger will use about 8,000 credits a month just to check if it should run.[9] "
" Downtime immediately means stalled workflows, broken integrations, delayed operations. Make is effectively invisible infrastructure. When it doesn't work, everything feels broken at once.[10] "
" Technical support is VASTLY incompetent, off-shore cheap labor that improvises with erratic and contradictory instructions.[11] "
" Triggers won't work automatically and you have to turn it on to actually keep everything running.[12] "
" I gave Make.com a fair chance but there is no real transparency in the debugging and error process. Messages are too vague and generic to be helpful.[13] "
" The visual builder can get confusing with complex scenarios, and error handling is not always intuitive.[14] "
" What is possible in under 5 minutes with Zapier will cost you an entire work day with Make and you still will be stuck. When you contact support, they try to tell you the bug is not theirs.[15] "
- 1,000 operations
- 15-min minimum interval
- 10,000 operations

Tallyfy might not be right for you if...
Tallyfy isn't for everyone. Here's when it may not fit:
- Not designed for pure data automation between apps
- Won't replace middleware for technical integrations
- Best for workflows with human involvement
- Focused on visibility and accountability, not invisible plumbing
Track the work Make can't see
Human workflows need visibility, not invisible middleware
2. Track
See every task - who is responsible, what is pending, and what is complete. Nothing invisible.
Is invisible automation really helping?
Are you hearing this at work? That's busywork
Enter between 1 and 150,000
Enter between 0.5 and 40
Enter between $10 and $1,000
Based on $30/hr x 4 hrs/wk
Your loss and waste is:
every week
What you are losing
Cash burned on busywork
per week in wasted wages
What you could have gained
160 extra hours could create:
per week in real and compounding value
Total cumulative impact over time (real cost + missed opportunities)
You are bleeding cash, annoying every employee and killing dreams.
It's a no-brainer
