SpaSphere Forms · the Tally alternative
Tally Builds Great Forms. SpaSphere Forms Builds Your Client File.
Tally is a free form builder for every kind of work, with no limit on forms or submissions. SpaSphere Forms is free and unlimited too, and it's made for estheticians: intake templates for the treatment room, and every submission saved to your client's profile.
The short version
Tally is a general-purpose form builder. Its free plan includes unlimited forms and submissions, signatures, payments and integrations such as Google Sheets, Notion, Zapier and webhooks, with paid Pro and Business plans for more, as of November 2026. SpaSphere Forms is also free with no limit on forms or submissions. The difference is focus: it comes with intake forms written for facials, peels, microneedling, waxing and lashes, and each submission is tied to a client, so her answers, signature and photos sit on her profile. When you want booking, payments and reminders too, SpaSphere Pro adds them.
Switch from Tally to SpaSphere Forms if:
- You want intake forms written for facials, peels, waxing and lashes, ready to edit
- You want each client's answers, signature and photos on her client profile, not in a response table
- You want a form tool made for an esthetics practice, not every kind of business
Free, with no limit on forms or submissions.
No card needed. Start from a ready-made esthetics form or import the PDF you use today, collect signatures and before/after photos, and find every submission on your client's profile.
Start free
When you're ready, SpaSphere Pro adds online booking, payments, reminders, a full website, and forms linked to a service that go out automatically with booking confirmations and reminders. Upgrade and everything you've already set up is ready to go.

Why estheticians leave Tally
Tally is a generous, well-made form builder, and its free plan covers most needs. An esthetics practice asks for something narrower: questions shaped around skin care, and a place for the answers beside each client's history.
Made for every kind of form
A strong general tool. The intake questions for skin care are yours to write from scratch or adapt.
Answers live with the form
Responses sit in Tally or flow to a sheet or database you connect, apart from your client records
Your client file is somewhere else
Matching each response to the right client, and finding it before her next visit, is up to you
Both are free and unlimited. One is built around your client.

You run a skin practice.
Not a response table. What your client tells you about her skin, her medications and her goals belongs on her profile, ready for her next visit.
Free, with no limit
Forms written for the treatment room.
SpaSphere Forms has no cap on how many forms you build or how many submissions you receive. No card needed.
- 15 ready-made forms and 16 sections: facial, acne, chemical peel, microneedling, dermaplaning, wax, lash and brow intakes, all editable.
- Import the PDF form you use today and it becomes an editable SpaSphere form, on the free plan.
- Every form starts with Your Info, so each submission is matched to a client by email, or a new client is created.
- Signatures your client draws or types on a phone, tablet or computer, saved with the time, IP address and browser.
When Tally can still be a good fit
- Good fit: You need forms for many kinds of work, not only your esthetics practice.
- Good fit: You want responses sent to Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or a webhook.
- Good fit: You want to take payments inside a form without a booking system.
When SpaSphere Forms is a better fit
- Better fit: You want intake forms written for facials, peels, microneedling, waxing and lashes.
- Better fit: You want each client's answers, signature and photos on her client profile.
- Better fit: You may want booking, payments and reminders later, without rebuilding your forms.
What to compare before you switch
- Both are free with no limit on forms or submissions. The difference is what happens after your client submits.
- Check where you look for a client's answers before her treatment: a response table, or her profile.
- SpaSphere Forms is free. SpaSphere Pro is $139/month, with your first 30 days for $1, when you want booking and payments too.

FAQ
Is there a free Tally alternative for estheticians?
Yes. SpaSphere Forms is free, with no limit on forms or submissions and no card needed. It includes 15 ready-made esthetics forms, e-signatures, before/after photo uploads and PDF import, and every submission is tied to a client record.
Tally is free and unlimited too. Why switch?
If Tally works for you, it's a good tool. SpaSphere Forms is for estheticians who want intake forms written for skin care and want each client's answers, signature and photos on her profile instead of in a response table.
Can I bring the forms I already use?
Yes. Upload your existing form as a PDF and SpaSphere Forms turns it into an editable form, on the free plan. Or start from one of the 15 ready-made esthetics forms and adjust it.
Do my clients need an account or an app?
No. Your client opens the link on her phone, tablet or computer and fills it out. You can send it by email from SpaSphere, copy the link, or print a waiting-room sign with a QR code that opens your forms page.
Can I connect SpaSphere Forms to Google Sheets, Notion or Zapier?
No. SpaSphere Forms keeps answers on your client records in SpaSphere. If you need responses sent to other apps, Tally's integrations are a better fit.
Is SpaSphere Forms HIPAA compliant?
No. SpaSphere Forms is not HIPAA-compliant.
What does SpaSphere Pro add?
Online booking and your calendar, checkout and payments, invoices, reminders and automations, a full website, memberships and SOAP notes. Forms you link to a service go out automatically with booking confirmations and reminders. SpaSphere Pro is $139/month, and your first 30 days are $1. Upgrade and everything you've already set up is ready to go.
