What is this website?
IFTTT is the automation product at ifttt.ai. It connects two or more of more than 1,000 services into an Applet: a trigger starts an action. You can use a ready-made Applet or build one. Examples on the page include phone screenshots, a garage door, RSS, and calendar tasks. The plans page says every plan includes the core features and unlimited Applets, and a free account receives 1,000 credits a month. Paid plans add credits and speed. On annual billing, Starter, Pro, and Pro+ work out to about $2.09, $5.49, and $13.99 a month. The same page says App Store and Google Play subscriptions are billed by those stores. The platforms are Web, iOS, and Android.
Core features
- Connect services with a ready-made or custom Applet.
- Give a free account 1,000 credits a month and unlimited Applets.
- Add credits and speed on the paid plans.
- Use the website, and subscribe through the App Store or Google Play as the plans page describes.
Common situations
- An event in one app should start an action in another.
- A first automation should run on the free 1,000 credits a month.
- More speed or more credits means Starter, Pro, or Pro+.
Who it fits
- People who want ready-made connections without writing integration code.
- People who will start on the free allowance and upgrade on the web or in a phone store.
- A team that must keep the integration in its own server code, with no Applet, is not using this product as it is sold.
How it compares
If the job is a ready-made trigger and action, IFTTT sells unlimited Applets with a free monthly credit allowance and higher paid plans. If the automation has to stay in your own server code, an Applet is not that path.
