IFTTT Reviews 60

IFTTT switches off functionality for existing free accounts. Not so great.
This ain't a customer policy which one appreciates. Anyway in the free version only 2(!) applets are possible - otherwise subscription 
With a more open free account I think more people would get into the subsc. because alt the end all the functionalities are only nice to haves.

Everything was great until they disabled my applets without warning. Seemingly they've suddenly decided they were using "pro" features, even though they're extremely basic. Appreciate I was using it for free but I still think it's pretty poor form to do this without warning. It's also totally unclear when setting up and applet which features are deemed "pro" and which are not. It's constantly coming up with a screen to get you to give them money, and it's not usually clear why you're seeing it. More transparency needed.

I just bought some smart plugs (Meross) because they could be triggered by my UbiBot temperature sensors which I only bought as they had a IFTTT trigger that would link them both. Turns out the triggers no longer work yet the applets are still there on the IFTTT site. There are plenty of workarounds so not a train smash but deceitful of IFTTT to keep them on their site.

Trust me and trust piolet reviews...don't do it.

Greed destroyed this once great app. Time to move on and let them become irrelevant.

I don't understand these services. This is eventually just a relay for other services and they can all have a cost as well. In the end we're potentially paying hundreds in monthly fees. We see the same trend in streaming services. Enough! You're not worth over $1 a month, IFTTT. There's plenty of free and lower-cost alternatives. I've had it with companies just wanting to please their shareholders by maximizing profit. You have a good service, IFTTT, but your capitalistic ideology is dead wrong. With your latest round of tightening things up (which you've been doing a few times already), you've just ensured that I definitely won't pay for your "service".

Just too expensive.
Offer 10 widgets for a low fee and you will get more subscribers.
20 widgets for a lower fee than you charge currently and you will sell more.

Many years ago this service had something to offer. But then throughout the years the quality of the service got worse, applets became less and less reliable to the point that you can no longer tell why an applet isn't functioning. And then, since the service is such a work of art, they apparently decided it made sense to push users towards paid plans. And now for some reason I'm getting 3 emails an hour about the fact that in a few days most of my applets are going to be deleted. Well good riddance, I have not really used the service in a long time anyway. I just need to find a way to stop receiving their spam.

can't put 0 stars ? 1 is already too much...

they used the drug dealers routine..

at the beginning it's free and nice... then you have to pay if you want the nice and better dope... now you have to pay just for talking to the dealer...

bye bye

I recently had an unfortunate experience with IFTTT, and I must say that I am thoroughly disappointed with their service. I can confidently state that IFTTT's inconsistent and ever-changing applet limitations have left me feeling frustrated and misled.

Initially, I was drawn to IFTTT due to its promise of automating tasks through applets. However, their constant alterations to the number of applets available on the free plan have proven to be quite vexing. The inconsistency in their approach is evident as they repeatedly fluctuate the limit, creating confusion and an overall lack of trust.

From my observations, IFTTT has repeatedly changed the applet limit, starting with three applets on the free plan, then raising it to five, only to drop it down to one. This back-and-forth pattern continued with subsequent changes, including raising it back to five and then dropping it to two once again. Such fluctuation gives the impression that IFTTT is intentionally playing games with their users in order to nudge them towards purchasing their paid plans.

In light of these circumstances, I would like to recommend an alternative solution: Huginn. Huginn is an open-source platform that allows you to create your own automation flows, giving you full control and avoiding the inconsistencies that plague IFTTT. With Huginn, you can customize your workflows to suit your needs without the fear of arbitrary restrictions or sudden changes in functionality.

In conclusion, I find IFTTT's handling of applet limitations to be both untrustworthy and frustrating. Their continuous fluctuation of the applet count on the free plan suggests a deceptive tactic to encourage users to opt for their paid plans. Instead, I suggest exploring alternatives like Huginn that provide more consistency and control over your automation needs.

The app used to be free, and I loved it!
But then, it got limited to 20 applets for free users. A bit... Sad, but it's enough for most users - I said.
Then, it got limited to 5?! Nah.
Now, IT'S 2 APPLETS! It's trash.
They only want your money, they don't care about you.
It's better to find alternatives now. What's next, 0 applets for free?
Don't download this garbage. Soon enough I bet this app'll be removed from the Google Play Store, Google Search and everywhere.
Don't waste your time. I beg you.

This thing is a joke. LOL. I am not even sure what it does but nothing we have done ever works. I would say its hit or miss but we tried with 19 or so companies and none of them seemingly do anything. They try to sell this too.

Facebook and twitter are down and they are not talking about the problem or extending our subscriptions.
what a shame!

I never signed up for this service and they charged my card. I emailed the copmany and they quickly refunded the charge and said they would cancel the account i never created. Just received another charge on my card.

Conned me into putting in my credit card details to try out their extra features and then went ahead with charging me a full years subscription for a service I don't use nor do I want to use it. Their support is simple and to the point - No refunds.

I used them to auto-publish my posts on my business pages on 5 social media platforms and got my all my 5 accounts disabled. When my posts were published they don't come out well on the platforms themselves either, avoid!

its not working anymore! sucks!

I used to use this site a few years back after purchasing a few basic Wemo switches, but a recent visit showed that the site had switched to a rather aggressive commercial model that drives most of its user base to pay a monthly fee.
Such a shame... I suspect that vendors will stop developing for this platform now as consumer interest wanes. A fixed nominal fee for each integration would have been much more palatable, especially for ad-hoc use.

Spam mails daily!

Even i‘ve deleted and unsub from thr mail list, they still send mails almost every day! Horrible unserious company! Stay away!

I paid an extra yearly fee at my homeautomation provider specifically for IFTTT services. I then set up all my apps at IFTTT which took hours. Everything worked. Then IFTTT suddenly also wanted a yearly subscription, even though I already paid my home automation providers specifically for IFTTT services. IFTTT then deleted all my apps that took hours to setup. Total chaos and super rip off. Don't trust them. They suck and dont know how to run a business.
