Based on the video, it doesn’t really look like home automation, but still worth keeping an eye on. iOS version “Available soon” according to their website.

Trial at first, but 4-6 Pounds a month (too lazy to do a conversion…) once they revert to subscription model.

So about $7 USD per month.
That won’t make sense for SmartThings users, if everything that Alfred controls / integrates can be integrated with SmartThings directly and controlled by cheaper add-ons like SmartTiles, SmartRules, Rule Machine, SharpTools, etc…
There are several of these apps out now. The best established is probably yonomi which includes harmony integration as well. They’re pretty similar to IFTTT with the ability to also set schedules.
(I should note you can set event schedules for IFTTT “that” using google calendar as the IF, but you can’t set a schedule for the recipe itself.)
There are fairly similar. They do allow for somewhat more complex logic than IFTTT. Alfred is adding energy monitoring reporting. There may be some privacy issues with any of these apps.
It’s important to note that none of them actually control the devices involved, except maybe IR devices if you have an android phone. For other protocols, including Zwave and Zigbee, they just send requests to the native controller.
Like roomie remote, there will be a market for these. They do bring a lot of different things together into one rules engine app. But they’re an add on to your other systems, not a replacement for them.
