The short version

  • Only IFTTT has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: IFTTT free plan limited to only 2 applets total; Lytics billed in credits where one credit is an update to a user profile, so the bill tracks how often profiles change rather than how many exist
  • They diverge on capability: IFTTT covers If-then applets, Lytics covers Data collection.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.
