I don’t mind that IFTTT is introducing a Pro subscription for additional capabilities, and if there was something I wanted to do with those features, I’d go for it. But what I use it for isn’t worth $10/month.
The problem is that they’re limiting the free edition to just THREE applets.
Not cool.

I guess I need to look through what I’m actually using, clear out what I’m not, see what can be replaced and what I can consolidate. The name-your-own-price deal for the first year might be worth it just to have a cushion.
But that’s eventually going to balloon out to $10/month again and I honestly don’t see myself using enough features on there for it to be worth it.
I’ll have to look for a nextcloud app or something
Honestly, I don’t mind paying for stuff. I donate to free software projects. I contribute to this site’s admin patreon. But price points matter, and IFTTT is following the typical (and annoying) pattern for formerly-free services where they squash the free tier down hard and aim the lowest paid tier at people who are going to use a lot more of it than I am.
