Details
Loom lets you record quick screen + face videos instead of scheduling meetings. Insanely useful for async teams. Started bootstrapped on maxed credit cards, grew to 10M+ users, sold to Atlassian for $975M in 2023. The free tier is still generous enough for most solo use. Business costs $18 per user per month and removes the video and length limits, and Business + AI costs $24 with AI editing; paying annually saves up to 17%.
Tally is the anti-Typeform. Instead of a complex visual builder, you type your form like you would write a document. Add a text field, a multiple choice question, a file upload. It works like Notion. And the free tier is genuinely generous: unlimited forms, unlimited responses, no branding.
For solo founders who need contact forms, surveys, or feedback forms, Tally is the fastest path from “I need a form” to “here is the link.” The Pro plan at $29/month adds conditional logic and custom domains, but most founders will not need it.
