IFTTT
IFTTT connects apps, devices and services through Applets that automate actions across two or more services. Its library includes over 1,000 apps, services and devices, with examples such as Spotify, Evernote, Todoist, Google Sheets, Android and Philips Hue. Basic use does not require coding. The Free plan allows two Applets, Pro allows 20, and Pro+ allows unlimited Applets. Pro adds multi-action Applets and webhooks; Pro+ includes queries, filter code, multiple connected accounts per service and access to IFTTT's Platform. The iOS and Android apps provide mobile-exclusive services, notifications, widgets and geofencing automations. IFTTT says most connected services use OAuth, permitting restricted account access without sharing a password with IFTTT. Users can export their data as JSON or delete their account through settings. Trigger checks, Applet runs and errors are logged for seven days, while activity feed information is stored for 30 days. A free plan is available; Pro costs $2.99/mo billed annually and Pro+ costs $8.99/mo billed annually. Both paid plans include a seven-day trial.
Who it is for
IFTTT suits people who want to connect services and automate actions without coding. Pro is positioned for people with multiple smart devices or multi-action needs, while Pro+ is intended for small business owners and users of advanced tools.
