#2"We believe that Pro’s price of $9.99 per month is money well spent. However, because Pro is new and will evolve in response to your feedback, we wanted to provide some payment flexibility. Our introductory set your own price subscription allows you to choose your monthly payment for the first year of Pro. This special offer expires in 4 weeks, on Wednesday, October 7th."
Interesting approach. I wonder what users will pay on average during this first year.
If they give me a full blown console where I could run lambda-like python code on top of all the existing device integrations they already have, I'd be glad to pay the full $9.99/month. But the product would have to evolve a lot versus where it is today.

I look at IFTTT and Zapier and wonder what people use them for. Don't get me wrong, I think both have a target consumer but they feel expensive for what they appear to offer. I feel like if you're investing in automation the agnostic nature of owning and operating the code is more valuable than building into a walled system that relies on Internet connectivity and a SaaS service. OpenFaaS plus some Python could get you a long way on a $5/month VPS. Or... Pennies in any of the FaaS offerings wired up with cloud native tools. Or Node-RED?
Are there any good OSS orchestration / automation frameworks out there that scratch this itch?

My main use for IFTTT is that they accept incoming webhooks to send push notifications to my phone via their app.
Incredibly useful and convenient.

Any examples of how you use the webhooks?

#7A couple weeks ago, I was looking for some way to convert a Gmail email filter into an Android clock alarm (not just a custom notification) so I can be woken up if a certain email arrives. I haven't found a solution for this. I had heard of IFTTT, so I took a look at the website, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I signed up for a free account and I searched through the integrations available, but it didn't seem to get me what I wanted. Maybe it's just me, but it wasn't clear enough that it could solve my problem that I should invest the time to figuring out how to use it.

#8I really, truly don’t mind paying for software, but all of these subscription services cost obscene amounts of money. $10 per month is $120 per year. $120! I might pay that much for boxed software, but it would need to do a heck of a lot more than IFTTT, and I’d expect to get much more than one year of life out of it.
Affinity Photo, for instance, cost $60, and VMware Fusion cost $80, to name two products I purchased recently. Neither needs to be bought again after a year unless an update contains a new feature I want (and probably not even then for Affinity), and both can do a lot more than IFTTT. Neither has a server component, true, but how big a cost can that possibly be for IFTTT?
I’m probably never using IFTTT again. Oh well.

Maybe now that it will be payed they will make the product more worth while.

You basically just POST/GET url they provide with the json payload then hook it up to a notification service (whether that be their Android app, Telegram, etc.)
Came in handy when I needed to poll something on my end, which would trigger the webhook when it met certain conditions.
