Won't drain your data plan
Unlike a few other automation apps, Llama doesn't use a data connection so it will not cost to use.

Pro
Reliable, cell tower-based location triggers
To teach Llama your current position, go to the Areas tab and long-press your current position, then choose Start Learning Area. The app will now and in the future identify that area based on cell towers in the location. The longer you stay within that area the first time you set it to learn, the better Llama will be able to identify that place. You can also manually add or remove certain cell towers to areas.

Works with the vast majority of system settings
It can change lots of settings on your phone, for example you can use MyProfiles to put the phone on silent at the times in the week or locations you shouldn't be disturbed. You can set an exception group from your Android contacts so that important people can still reach you. You can use it to put your phone into airplane mode overnight to save batteries, or when you have a meeting scheduled in your calendar.

Pro
Infinitely tweakable
Tasker has an impressive amount of triggers, actions, and parameters that can be used together in an incredible variety of ways. It can even accept scripts to follow instructions.
See More
Top
Con
Awful user interface
While it's incredibly powerful, Tasker's user interface is counter-intuitive, confusing, and just plain clunky at every turn.
See More
Top
Pro
Create powerful custom applications
Tasker has the ability to create custom applications, effectively replacing multiple installed apps in your phone with tasks that are triggered automatically. What's even better is that they will be custom tailored to fit your specific needs.
See More
Top
Con
Steep learning curve
Tasker lacks good documentation or tutorials, which is important as the learning curve is very high if you want to use its advance features where this app actually shines.
See More
Top
Pro
Can adjust system software
With Root access it can also dabble with system software which other apps are not likely to achieve at the moment.
See More
Top
Pro
Export tasks as standalone apps
Tasker allows exporting workflows you've created as standalone applications that can then be shared or even put on the Google Play store.
See More
Top
Pro
Awesome plugin support
Tasker has awesome plugin support to connect with hardware that usually requires installing specific apps. For example, it has a plugin for Pebble smartwatch so that you can automate tasks that require using Pebble.

Pro
Purchase only once
The dev does not keep bringing out revised apps expecting you to pay each and every time; the same app has been developed consistently for nearly a decade.

Uses WiFi to determine location
Instead of using GPS like other apps, Locale uses WiFi to determine a user's location when possible. This is one of the reasons that Locale is so efficient when it comes to battery life.

Detects speed and acts accordingly
This app tracks users by GPS and knows if they are sitting still, walking, running, or driving. This functionality can be used to trigger actions when a certain pace is achieved, such as "Play music when I start running." The GPS integration can also be useful for triggering actions when a user leaves or arrives at a location. Popular recipes that use the GPS function are "Remind me to work out if I haven't been to the gym in 3 days" or "Text my boyfriend when I leave work".

Bare
While this app is incredibly useful, not much emphasis is put on making the UI pretty. This in no way effects the functionality of the app, but some users might find the basic interface unappealing.
