FormFork vs Tally: Built for custom frontends and developer workflows
Tally is great for Notion-style hosted doc forms, but forces you to embed iframes when you want a custom React, Next.js, or Tailwind UI. FormFork gives you both a Visual Studio AND true headless POST/GET APIs.

}How FormFork powers formfork vs tally
True Headless Endpoints (No Mandatory Iframes)
With Tally, you cannot point your own `<form action="...">` or custom Tailwind React component to a backend endpoint. FormFork lets you use 100% custom markup whenever you want.
Visual Form Studio When You Want Hosted Forms
When you DO want a quick hosted survey or multi-step form with conditional logic, FormFork’s Visual Studio gives you instant `/share/form-id` pages and iframe embeds too.
Query Submissions & Files via REST API
Fetch submissions directly into your own application or AI agent via `GET /api/submissions`, complete with parsed JSON fields and `files[]` download URLs.
Direct Google Drive File Offloading & Custom SMTP
Stream uploaded files straight into your Google Drive folder and send email alerts through your own custom SMTP relay.
