The best alternative to Make
Make charges a credit for most actions, and even a check that finds no new data uses one. Tallyfy charges per seat and shows every task your team has done or still has to do.
- Pricing - A price per seat you can plan your budget around
- Tracking - See each task people have finished and what's still waiting
- Records - Every process keeps a log of who did what and when
- AI - AI assistants can run processes in Tallyfy through its open MCP server
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.

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] "

Tallyfy might not be right for you if...
- It isn't built for moving data between apps on its own
- Editing a template changes the processes you launch afterward, not the ones already running
- Its paid plans are priced per seat, so the cost grows with the size of your team
- It's a poor fit for one-off projects you'll only run once
