What is IFTTT?
IFTTT connects apps, web services and smart home devices with simple automations called Applets: if something happens in one service, do something in another. The free plan includes 2 Applets. Pro costs $2.99 a month and Pro+ costs $8.99 a month with unlimited Applets. It has mobile apps for iOS and Android.
Pros
- The easiest way to start automating, no setup needed
- Strong smart home and mobile integrations
- Cheap paid plans if you need more Applets
Cons
- Free plan is limited to 2 Applets
- Not built for complex multi-step business workflows
