In their own words
IFTTT
IFTTT connects apps, devices, and services using 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 automations can be set up without coding. The Free plan allows two Applets; Pro allows 20, and Pro+ allows unlimited Applets. Pro adds multi-action Applets and webhooks, while Pro+ includes queries, filter code, multiple accounts per service, and access to IFTTT's Platform. The iOS and Android apps offer mobile-exclusive services, notifications, widgets, and geofencing automations. Most connected services use OAuth for restricted access without sharing a password with IFTTT. Users can export data as a JSON file or delete their account in settings. Trigger checks, Applet runs, and errors are logged for seven days; activity feed information is stored for 30 days. Plans include free, Pro at $2.99 per month, and Pro+ at $8.99 per month; paid plans are billed annually and include a 7-day trial.
