People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Powerful enough for pros.
"We can finally delegate work with confidence and focus on growing the business.
"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.
"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.
"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.
"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.
"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.
"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.

AI readiness comparison
How Qntrl and Tallyfy compare on AI-native capabilities

Tallyfy is best for
- Teams that launch the same process many times and track each run
- People who complete their tasks on a phone
- Teams that bring clients or suppliers into their processes
- Business teams with no workflow specialists on staff
Consider Qntrl for
- Companies that already run much of their work on Zoho apps
- IT teams that need to move data between many business systems
- Teams that want workflow and system integration from one vendor
Here's why people don't like Qntrl
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.
" If you're looking to model very complex workflows, the software might not be the tool for you.[1] "
" The software has limited advanced features in the free version and may require some time to adapt to the interface.[2] "
" The software's learning curve and customization options don't quite measure up to some other products.[3] "
" The software has a few drawbacks, including the user interface (UI) flexibility and the lack of a sort and filter feature.[4] "
" Some users say that while the software is effective, there can be a steep learning curve when trying to utilize all of its features, meaning that it takes a long time to become a power user.[5] "
" Being a Zoho product, Qntrl works best within the Zoho ecosystem. If you use other tools, the integrations feel clunky and require constant maintenance.[6] "
" The mobile app is essentially worthless. Most features that work on desktop simply do not work or look broken on mobile devices.[7] "
" Tried to get help with a workflow issue and support took over a week to respond. When they did, they just pointed to generic documentation that did not address my specific problem.[8] "
" The platform is quite expensive compared to other project management solutions. It can be difficult to customize the dashboard and reports. It does not offer any offline capabilities.[9] "
" Initial setup can be a bit time-consuming for new users. Reporting features may not be as advanced as some competitors.[10] "
" Qntrl is partly a bit limited in its functionalities. Out of the box you cannot really do much like upload files after signing to a designated location. I would appreciate more smart integration with other Zoho apps.[11] "
- Unlimited workflows
- Process automation
- Free trial
- Process compliance

- External users
Tallyfy might not be right for you if...
- Not part of the Zoho suite of apps
- All you need is a short checklist that never changes
- Doesn't draw processes in BPMN notation

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Qntrl used for?
Qntrl is Zoho's tool for business automation. It automates work and moves data between business systems, and its own site calls it a workflow orchestration and integration platform.
What is Tallyfy?
Tallyfy is workflow management software for the processes your team repeats. You write a process once as a template and launch it whenever the work comes up, and Tallyfy tracks each run on its own. A step can go to a person, a group, a job title you fill at launch, or a guest outside your company.
Do I need IT to set up Tallyfy?
You don't. You write each step in plain English and choose who does it and when it's due. Rules that show or hide a step take a few clicks, with no code.
Does Tallyfy price differently by country?
For some organizations, yes. If you're on an annual plan and most of your users are in an eligible country, you can apply for our Fair Price Guarantee. The discount is based on GDP per person in your region. We give it at our discretion, and it may not apply to mid-size or large companies.
How do problems with a process get fixed in Tallyfy?
The person working on a task reports the problem right on it, and everyone assigned to that task is told. The task can't be completed until someone resolves the issue. The template's owner then updates the template, and every future run uses the fix.
How does AI work in Tallyfy?
You can upload an existing SOP as a Word or PDF file, and Tallyfy's AI turns it into a template you can run. You can also connect your own AI, like ChatGPT or Claude, and let it complete steps. A computer AI agent you connect can work in other apps with the mouse and keyboard.
Can I start from a ready-made template?
Yes. Our template library has ready-made processes for teams from HR to sales. You import one with a click and then edit it to fit how you work.
Where can I find reviews from Tallyfy customers?
On our customers page. Each quote there names the person, their job title and their company, and most come with a full case study.
Is setup help included?
Yes. You can book 25-minute screen-sharing calls with a Tallyfy expert as often as you need, whether you're building templates or stuck on a problem.
How can I get started with Tallyfy?
Book a demo with our team. We'll set up a trial account for you and show you how a process runs, from the form that starts it to the last step.
Can Tallyfy work with the apps we already use?
Yes. Tallyfy connects to your other apps through middleware such as Zapier, Make, Power Automate and n8n. Developers can also use its REST API and webhooks.
