A process map can turn into a tangle of lines

In Tallyfy, each step carries the instructions and form fields the person doing it needs.

A tangled process map becomes four plain steps A tangle of gateways and crossing lines grows until a person walking toward it stops at its edge. The tangle collapses into four numbered steps, 1 to 4, on one line. The person walks through them, and each step gets a green check as the person passes it. Then the picture starts again. 1 2 3 4

AI readiness comparison

How TIBCO BPM and Tallyfy compare on AI-native capabilities

Criterion
TIBCO BPM
Business users build workflows without BPMN Write a process as plain steps, with no modeling notation to learn
Connect AI without consultants Bring your own AI assistant, with no services project to connect it
Set it up yourself Sign up, build your first template and launch it
MCP server for AI assistants A Model Context Protocol server lets AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude work with your processes
Published pricing Prices are on the website for anyone to see

Before anyone runs a template, an AI assistant you connect can check every path through it and list what's wrong. Tallyfy has a live MCP server with 100+ tools that connects to ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Which tool is right for you?

Tallyfy is best for

  • Mid-size teams that want to set up without consultants
  • Operations teams that build their own rules and automation
  • Approvals, onboarding and other work that repeats every week
  • Work that involves clients or vendors, who join free as guests
  • Steps that several people must each sign off

Consider TIBCO BPM for

  • Large enterprises with a dedicated BPM team
  • Companies that need deep integration with other TIBCO products
  • Teams that already run TIBCO servers and want to reuse them
  • Work that must be modeled in BPMN 2.0

Pricing last verified: October 2026. Prices may have changed.

Tallyfy might not be right for you if...

  • Not built for BPMN 2.0 modeling with swimlanes and gateways
  • A poor fit if you need deep integration with TIBCO middleware
  • Not an integration platform for moving data between systems
  • Runs only in the cloud, so you can't host it yourself

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TIBCO BPM used for?

TIBCO BPM Enterprise, formerly TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, is used to automate and monitor business processes and case management applications. It runs on Kubernetes, in a private, public or hybrid cloud.

What is Tallyfy?

Tallyfy is software for running the processes your team repeats. You write each one once as a template of plain steps and launch it as often as you need. Each launch is tracked as its own process.

Can business users change a process without IT?

Yes. Administrators, and standard members with permission, can change a template's steps, form fields and rules in the editor, with no code. Processes launched after the change use the new version, and processes already running keep the version they started with.

Does Tallyfy price differently by country?

Yes, in some cases. Under our Fair Price Guarantee, an organization whose users are mostly in an eligible country can apply for a discount on an annual plan, based on regional GDP per capita. Tallyfy decides each one, and mid-size or large companies may not qualify.

How does Tallyfy use AI?

Connect an AI assistant you already pay for, such as ChatGPT or Claude, and it can do the work on a task, then complete the step or leave a comment. Computer AI agents you connect can also do steps inside other apps. ChatGPT needs a Plus plan or higher, and Claude needs Pro or higher.

How does Tallyfy handle process improvement?

Anyone working on a task can report a problem on it, and everyone assigned to that task is notified. The task can't be completed until the problem is resolved. Then a person updates the template, so every process launched after that follows the fixed version.

How is TIBCO BPM priced?

By quote. TIBCO doesn't publish prices for TIBCO BPM Enterprise, so you ask its sales team.

How can I see real customer reviews of Tallyfy?

On our customers page. Each review there is a quote from someone who runs their processes in Tallyfy, signed with their name and company, and most link to the full story.

Is setup help included?

Yes. Our team works with you 1:1 during setup.

How can I get started with Tallyfy?

Book a demo, and we'll walk through one of your processes with you. If you'd rather try it alone, start the free 14-day trial and follow the tutorial for your first template.

Do we need BPMN skills to use Tallyfy?

No. A Tallyfy process is a list of steps in plain English, with form fields where you need answers. Decisions become rules that show or hide steps, so there are no gateways or swimlanes to draw. Our guide to converting BPMN into templates matches each BPMN pattern to the Tallyfy feature that handles it.

Can Tallyfy connect to our other systems?

Yes. Tallyfy has a REST API, and webhooks send data to other systems when a task is completed or a process is launched. It also works with middleware such as Zapier and Power Automate.
