The short version

Only Tally has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Swydo pricing by data source punishes agencies with many small clients: forty clients on two connections each costs more than the headline EUR 69 suggests, and the per-source rate only starts falling after ten sources.; Tally built-in analysis is limited to basic summaries, so any real analysis means exporting responses to a spreadsheet or database.
They diverge on capability: Swydo covers Multi-platform connectors, Tally covers Document-style editor.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Swydo

Pricing by data source punishes agencies with many small clients: forty clients on two connections each costs more than the headline EUR 69 suggests, and the per-source rate only starts falling after ten sources.
There is no data warehouse or SQL layer, so any calculation the interface does not offer natively cannot be built, and complex attribution reporting has to happen elsewhere.
Historical data lives with the connection, so removing a departed client destroys the reporting history for that account unless it was exported first.
The connector list is around forty sources and skews to mainstream ad platforms, so agencies serving niche verticals with bespoke platforms will still need manual data entry or Google Sheets bridges.
Report design is template-driven rather than free-form, so agencies that sell on the polish of their deliverables often find they cannot match a designed InDesign or Canva output.

Tally

Built-in analysis is limited to basic summaries, so any real analysis means exporting responses to a spreadsheet or database.
There is no offline data collection, which rules it out for field research or events without reliable connectivity.
The company is very small and bootstrapped, so support is email and documentation with no account management, and some procurement processes will reject that.
Advanced research features such as quotas, randomisation and panel integration are absent, so it is a form builder rather than a research instrument.
Design control is deliberately narrow, so brands that need pixel-level form styling will find the theming options constraining even on the paid tier.
