How does this service differ from ifttt? Why would I want to use it in place of ifttt?
I see that you have a paying account, which is nice - ifttt has limitations (limited number of accounts, etc.) that limit its utility for me (and I'd certainly pay for those things).
I see you have an API, which is really handy for dev-minded types. Can I build things that plug in as triggers or actions in an "ad-hoc" manner - things that are only for my use, and not advertised to other users? That'd be pretty incredible.
I only wish the hardware I acquired recently to work with ifttt - my WiThings body scale and WeMo Belkin outlet/sensors - were compatible. I'd like more complex rules involving them.
I was already using IFTTT when I found Zapier, but was immediately impressed that the latter seemed serious about tackling the more business-oriented apps. There are several services to help me integrate the usual suspects of Twitter, Evernote, etc. Less common, however, are pre-built connectors for, say, Zoho CRM.
That's really our biggest difference (which I forgot to mention). While we do support some more consumery apps our main goal is to help businesses operate more efficiently and less painfully. When we think about new features, new apps, new services it's almost entirely with a business user in mind.
