SuperAlarm is one of the better mission alarms available and it reaches iPhones Mornio cannot. If it is working for you and the cost is fine, this page is not trying to move you. It is for people who have run into one of its three specific friction points.
“I'm paying twice”
This is the one that catches people. SuperAlarm's listed in-app purchases include subscription tiers and a separate $2.99 monthly “remove ads” purchase. Depending on which plan you are on, an ad-free experience can be a second recurring charge rather than something a subscription includes.
Go to: Mornio, which has no ads and no ad SDK at all, so there is nothing to remove and nothing to pay twice for. Apple's Clock is also obviously ad-free and free. Erly, Wayk and Nuj carry no “Contains Advertising” note on their listings either.
Do not go to: Alarmy, if ads are your complaint. Its listing carries Apple's “Contains Advertising” note and lists Third-Party Advertising as a purpose for precise Location, Device ID and Advertising Data.
“I can't work out what I'm paying”
SuperAlarm's listing showed weekly tiers at $4.49 and $4.99, monthly at $7.99, yearly at $14.99, $19.99 and $39.99, and lifetime at $34.99 and $69.99, plus the ad removal. That is nine purchase options.
The trap is the weekly plan. At $4.49 a week you would pay well over $200 across a year, against $14.99 for the cheapest annual tier of the same app. If you are on a weekly plan, the cheapest fix may be switching plans rather than switching apps.
Go to: Mornio if you want two options and no decision to make: $7.99 monthly or $29.99 yearly, plus a free tier. Or Apple's Clock for nothing at all.
“Why does my alarm clock want my location?”
SuperAlarm declares Location, Identifiers and Usage Data under Data Used to Track You. Some of that may relate to its voice briefing of time and weather, which is a reasonable use, but tracking means linking to third-party data for advertising, which is a different thing from using your location to tell you the forecast.
Go to: Mornio (nothing declared under tracking, no account) or Nuj (nothing declared under tracking). Wayk declares only Usage Data. Apple's Clock involves no third party at all.
“I want more than one mission”
Worth saying plainly: if mission variety is what you value about SuperAlarm, Mornio is a downgrade. It has one mission, the QR or barcode scan, and no maths, Face ID, walking or squat alternative.
Go to: Alarmy, which has the widest mission set in the category and roughly 240,000 US ratings at 4.8 stars, on iOS 16 and later. You would be accepting ads and Location tracking to get there, so it is a lateral move on those measures.
