All prices are in Australian dollars. Software billed in US dollars is converted at US$1 = A$1.43 (0.701 US dollars per A$1, 23 Oct 2026), so what you pay moves with the exchange rate. Each stack total is the cheapest paid plan needed, billed monthly, before GST and card fees. Converted prices are estimates and may not be 100% accurate. Prices checked 23 Oct 2026.

How this stack works

Who it is for. Any service business that gets enquiries by form or email and loses some of them to slow replies.

How the pieces fit

  1. 1Build the enquiry form in Tally and add it to your site.
  2. 2In Make, send each submission into a Notion table so every lead has a row and a status.
  3. 3Have Make add the lead to a Kit sequence that sends a reply straight away and a follow-up after three days.
  4. 4Use ChatGPT Plus to draft the sequence emails once, then edit them in your own voice.

What to buy first

Start with Tally and Notion on their free plans. Add Make when you are tired of copying leads across by hand.

Cheaper swaps

Skip Kit and send replies from your own inbox with a saved template, or use the free Make plan until you reach its limits.

Australian notes

The Spam Act requires consent before you email marketing messages, so every list needs a clear opt-in. You must register for GST once turnover reaches A$75,000 a year. Overseas software invoices often include Australian GST, so keep them for your BAS.
