Our verdict

3/5 out of 5

Passed the cut

UI Design Aesthetics gives Tally a ruled-notebook landing page: cream lined paper, Fraunces set very heavy beside a thin italic, IBM Plex Mono labels, a mustard sticky note, an "on budget" stamp and vermilion hard shadows on the buttons. The dashboard keeps the ruled paper, heavy Fraunces figures and a hatched green "left to budget" card. It has far more character than the default, but it sits on the same cream, Fraunces and forest-green base, and the sticky note and stamp cover parts of the hero card. Pick it for warm consumer brands that want personality on a familiar base.

Observations

Tally landing page made with Liquid Glass Design (ECC) Passed, score 4 out of 5

Liquid Glass Design (ECC)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 283k

Liquid Glass Design builds Tally out of frosted glass panels floating over soft mint, peach and periwinkle light, set in Bricolage Grotesque and DM Sans. The dashboard keeps the glass in Manrope and stays readable. Pick it if you want a friendly, Apple-flavored product that looks nothing like the cream-and-serif default.

Tally landing page made with Popular Web Designs (Hermes Agent) Passed, score 4 out of 5

Popular Web Designs (Hermes Agent)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 256k

Popular Web Designs gives Tally the Wise treatment: very heavy black Inter headlines, a lime highlight box around 'job.', pill buttons, big rounded cards and a black pricing band with a lime Plus plan. The dashboard follows through with a black 'left to budget' card in huge lime numerals, lime envelope bars and a lime October bar. It is far from the default and holds together on both pages and on a phone, though the tight headline leading lets lines collide and a sync chip covers the Groceries label in the hero. Pick it when you want a bright, confident consumer fintech look and are happy to start from a known brand's style.

Tally landing page made with Impeccable Passed, score 4 out of 5

Impeccable

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 82k

Impeccable drops the cream-and-serif default for a loud navy, orange and primary-color landing page set in heavy Archivo, then builds a calmer pine-and-lime dashboard. Pick it if you want a product page with real energy that still holds up on a dense screen.

Tally landing page made with Hallmark Passed, score 4 out of 5

Hallmark

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 30k

Hallmark turns Tally into a cheerful yellow-and-pastel brand in Plus Jakarta Sans with big ghost numerals, and the dashboard matches it. The most consistent result in the set, but it took about 12 minutes per brief.

ECC Frontend Design Direction

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 282k

ECC keeps a Fraunces and cream landing page but adds mono labels and a tilted sticky note. The IBM Plex dashboard is more useful than the baseline's, with a sync alert, search and person filters.

Passed, score 3 out of 5

Theme Factory (Anthropic)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 182k

Theme Factory picked a forest-and-marigold theme for the landing page, in Fraunces and DM Sans, and a separate forest-and-olive one in Source Serif 4 and Figtree for the dashboard. Both are tidy, but they stay in the cream-and-green family of the default. A floating 'Rent due Friday' card covers the hero balance. Pick it for quick, warm theming.

Waza UI

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 7.3k

Waza UI gives Tally warm cream paper, chunky Young Serif headlines in bottle green and vermilion, a hero panel of envelope tiles instead of a phone, numbered ledger rows for features and a vermilion envelope-flap call to action. The dashboard switches to Bricolage Grotesque on cream with a dark green accent and terracotta for overspending, and it looks much like the default. The landing has its own voice, but the palette stays in the cream-and-green family, the chart label for October is clipped and the phone dashboard scrolls sideways. Pick it for warm consumer brands that want a little more stamp and character than the default.

Antislop UI

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 6.3k

Antislop UI keeps the baseline's paper and serif but cleans it up: no overlapping hero cards, a working "assign $2,000" slider demo, honest placeholder copy and a dashboard that leads with what to do about the $640. Better made, still close to the default look.
