One significant difference is that Flowsana’s rules support Variable Substitution, in almost every trigger and action where a value can be specified.

Lastly, it's important to note that Flowsana’s If-Then Rules comprise only one of its five different types of workflow automation – Flowsana does much more than just If-Then Rules!
