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; ON24 the Internet Archive's capture of ON24's homepage on 1 January 2021 named five distinct platform tiers, Webcast Elite, Engagement Hub, Target, Intelligence, and Connect, but pointed visitors to a 'Find your pricing fit' quiz rather than publishing figures.
  • They diverge on capability: IFTTT covers If-then applets, ON24 covers Live webinars.
