(1-25 of 25)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
Less programmatic capabilities, somewhat simpler design interface. More sophisticated events supported per task.
Ultimately, the kinds of tasks that need automation are simple, and a simple/easily maintainable user interface ensures no more time than is needed is spent on this with IFTTT.

Zapier is always trying to feed me information I don't want, whereas IFTTT has a clean, easy to use website.
Microsoft Flow is time-consuming to set up, IFTTT isn't. In my line of work, time is very important. I need to do the work and get it done.
Automate doesn't offer the setting I need. IFTTT is a closer fit for my client's projects.

IFTTT for Enterprise Integration
We have used Microsoft Flow, Stringify and IFTTT for various solutions. Stringify is no longer an option as it was shut down. We have found that IFTTT and Flow both have their place and in some places working together for the same task. We have found there is no one universal platform and it is all about the end solution.

If you read this then you will use IFTTT
IFTTT is free and easy to use, where Zapier has a freemium business model. We actually use both platforms for different things. I prefer Zapier for more complicated connections, where IFTTT allows us to have more connections without the added fee. Additionally, IFTTT allows us to do more unique and one-off automations.

Reprogramming the Web
As IFTTT, Zapier also helps users to connect apps and services, but it seems more directed to the corporative world. While IFTTT provides support for home devices (as lighting and security systems) and voice assistants (Alexa, Cortana, Google Assistant, and Siri), Zapier focuses on services such as Amazon S3, SQL Server and Zendesk. However, many services and apps are common to both IFTTT and Zapier.
One major difference between them is that Zapier is able to connect more than two apps/services, allowing its users to create workflows like converting an Evernote reminder both in a Google Calendar event and in a Google task. It also has a more sophisticated system for combining "ingredients" (not under this name, though), which allows greater flexibility. However, these features also make Zapier a bit more difficult to master.
This extra power also has a literal cost. Zapier's free plan is very limited and its paid plans start at $20 per month. On the other hand, IFTTT is completely free, which makes its adoption, even on an experimental basis, painless.

IFTTT manages social media so well it deserves a raise!
IFTTT has worked better for us than Hootsuite because we utilize it spur of the moment and only have to post to one platform. Once that post is done IFTTT does the rest and we're good to go. Using the native social media apps and software has allowed us to schedule posts in a way that made us not need to utilize Hootsuite.

IFTTT is great, but married to Buffer, is an ideal match.
- Buffer
Compared to Buffer, IFTTT has a far greater reach and scope, across numerous Social and off-site platforms. If you work in SEO, Content, or marketing in general, marrying IFTTT with Buffer will provide functionality you otherwise pay for.

IFTTT - Not just an integration platform, but a jumping off point for new ideas and functions
Office 365 has a program called Flow that functions similar to IFTTT, however, IFTTT has more integrations with 3rd parties and Flow has problems with getting triggers to go off properly. Unless there were some corporate requirement to utilize Flow only or limit integrations, I wouldn't leave IFTTT due to the wide range of recipes offered by end users. I regularly visit the IFTTT site to see what else end users have published as it gives me ideas for other novel uses of my platforms.

IFTTT - Save Time and Automate!
I haven't used Zapier extensively, but it seems that IFTTT is much simpler to set up. However, Zapier appears to be a much deeper integration where you can sync a variety of fields of data and customize the sync more than you can with IFTTT. Zapier may be more valuable for someone with a complex need and IFTTT is built for simple solutions for more basic apps.

IFTTT Review
November 07, 2018
IFTTT is the automation tool of choice!
In my mind, the only real competitor to IFTTT is Zapier. Zapier is great because of the amount of SaaS tools that it has, but Zapier fails in the ease of use category. Zapier's website is slow, and the integrations can be confusing to set up. IFTTT is simple, easy to use.

IFTTT: For all your things!
In the past, I have run scripting on a Linux server to provide some level of integration of some of the smart devices in the workspace. This had always been cludgy and at times unreliable as it oftentimes fell victim to idiosyncrasies in the devices being controlled.
IFTTT removes a lot of the guesswork in the communication realm and opens up more options for connectivity and applets.

IFTTT - Great for what you need it for
Zapier is a more in-depth if-then statement builder with way more detailed integrations to hundreds of applications as well as different tasks that can get implemented within your if then, then that statements. Way cooler and there are certification options that help you get to know the program as well.

IFTTT - Do you need it or do you need it?
- microsoft flow and Zapier
While other paid services might give your a little extra features and possibly a connectivity with enterprise application, it's nearly impossible to beat IFTTT with the cost factor, ease of use, hundreds of channels and a great community of users.

IFTTT | A must have for the busy business professional.
Truthfully I use both of these products. IFTTT is a very robust app but it does not get any where near as robust as Zapier. But although Zapier is more robust, for simpler tasks IFTTT is not only easier to set up, but gets the job done just as well. And now that IFTTT is adding more and more integrations it is becoming more and more usefull all the time.
