Our verdict
These are tools for different audiences. IFTTT was born for consumers and IoT: perfect for turning on smart lights, saving photos to cloud, receiving weather notifications. Zapier is built for business: connecting CRM, email marketing, invoicing, and business tools. For SMEs, Zapier is the right choice; IFTTT lacks the features needed for professional automation.
