Best fit
Who each tool is for
Tally
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants who need intake questionnaires, discovery forms and feedback surveys without paying for a form tool.
Why pick it: Unlimited forms and responses on the free plan, with logic and integrations that other form tools charge for.
Watch for: Removing Tally branding needs Pro ($24/mo). If you need complex surveys and analytics, Typeform or a survey tool goes further.
Toggl Track
DefaultBest for: Consultants billing by the hour who need accurate time records for invoicing and profitability analysis.
Why pick it: One-click timer and automatic tracking mean you actually use it. Most time tracking tools fail because they are too tedious — Toggl is the exception.
Watch for: If you bill fixed-fee only and never need to analyze where your hours go, skip it. Bonsai includes basic time tracking if you already use it.
