    IFTTT isn't used for the same purpose, Tasker is more of a macro type program that let's you automate actions on your phone's OS, IFTTT is an automation program for online services

    Less of a learning curve than Tasker to start building basic automation but supports nearly all the same functions. Experienced users can build complex functions by combining Macros.
