IFTTT introduces Pro subscriptions, limits free version to three applets – The Verge

Historically, you could create as numerous IFTTT applets as you desired, although these were restricted to one trigger managing one action. If the Ring doorbell is pressed, an applet can then stop briefly the music playing out of a Sonos speaker. Now IFTTT can be configured to pause the music and illuminate the doorway light and send out an SMS message whenever that doorbell is pressed, all from a single applet setup.

“Today is the day that If This Then That officially becomes If This and These Then That which or whatever else you can dream up,” stated IFTTT founder and CEO Linden Tibbets.

Pro has a recommended month-to-month cost of $9.99, but the company is enabling subscribers to set their own price for the very first year as long as its $1.99 per month or more. That special deal expires on October 7th.

IFTTT, a seasonal favorite of wise home tinkerers everywhere, is going Pro. That suggests paid subscriptions for faster and more advanced IFTTT applets that can query more data sources to activate multiple actions in the home. The free variation will stay however is now limited to simply three applets– only Pro subscribers will be able to develop unlimited personal applets.
