Who each app is for
Choose Roost Alarm if you want a focused challenge alarm with no snooze, follow-up wake checks, and the same product on iPhone and Android. It is a challenge alarm for heavy sleepers, not a full sleep-tracker suite.
Alarmy is a broader mission-alarm and sleep product. Its site also talks about sleep analysis, snore tracking, bedtime sounds, and many mission types. Some of those missions are listed as Premium.
The iOS limit
On iPhone (iOS 26+) Roost Alarm still rings with the app closed, but you can turn off the system alarm without finishing the challenge. On Android the challenge always holds.
Alarmy’s current iOS dismiss path can differ by version. Try the lock-screen stop on your own phone before you trust either app with a real morning.
