The Alarmy alternative that costs $19.99 — once
Most people searching for an Alarmy alternative aren't unhappy with mission alarms — they're unhappy with paying subscription prices for one, seeing ads on the free tier, or being nudged into an account. RiseProof keeps the part that works (an alarm that won't stop until you prove you're awake) and drops the parts that don't: it's a one-time $19.99 Lifetime Unlock, with no ads, no account, and no server anywhere in the wake-up path.
Alarmy's most-promoted plan is billed weekly and annualizes to roughly ≈$60/year (Alarmy's most-promoted plan is billed weekly and annualizes to roughly $60/year; as shown in-app as of 2026, varies by region and plan) — about ≈$300 over five years. RiseProof stays $19.99, total.

What you keep when you switch
The core loop is the same one Alarmy proved works: the alarm rings until you complete a mission. RiseProof ships nine — math, typing, shake, camera-verified push-ups, photo match, QR/barcode scan, movement match, memory, and steps — every one verified on your phone, with streaks to keep the habit compounding.
Alarms are set the same way your phone's built-in clock sets them, so they survive restarts and battery savers and ring through silent mode and Do Not Disturb. Making the alarm unmissable is where we spent our effort.
What you give up — honestly
Alarmy has more mission types and years of iteration across a huge user base. If mission breadth matters more to you than pricing model or privacy, Alarmy remains a capable app — our full side-by-side is at RiseProof vs Alarmy.
Switching takes about a minute
There's nothing to migrate: recreate your alarms (a minute for most people), pick your missions, and you're done — RiseProof needs no account. One reminder: your Alarmy subscription is managed by your app store, so remember to cancel it there or it keeps billing.
Common questions
Is RiseProof a free Alarmy alternative?
The free tier is a full, reliable alarm with three missions (math, shake, photo match) and no ads — never a crippled trial. The one-time $19.99 Lifetime Unlock adds every mission, unlimited alarms, and full streak history. There is no subscription either way.
Does RiseProof have Alarmy's wake-up check?
Yes — RiseProof's wake-up check re-pings you a few minutes after dismissal to catch the drift back to sleep. If you want extra insurance, a second alarm with a harder mission works too; streaks track both.
Why is RiseProof so much cheaper?
Architecture, not charity. RiseProof has no servers, no cloud verification, and no account system, so there are no recurring costs to pass on. A one-time price is the honest shape for software with zero marginal cost.
