Yes, Alarmy is free, with limits. The free version is a full alarm clock with ads and four dismiss missions.

About this page. Prices and features were checked on 2026-09-28 against Alarmy’s Google Play listing and the developer’s help centre. Pause Moment is a different kind of app (a scheduled screen lock, not an alarm clock) and is not affiliated with Alarmy. This page is here because people asking about Alarmy’s price kept landing on our Alarmy alternatives guide.
What do you get in the free version of Alarmy?
The free tier is not a trial. It works as an alarm clock for as long as you want, with ads. You get the alarm itself, sleep sounds, and four missions to turn the alarm off: a math problem, scanning a QR code or barcode, shaking the phone, and taking a photo of a place you set up in advance. Alarmy’s own listing says the app has a 4.6 rating from about 2.1 million reviews, and many of those reviews mention using the free version.
If one of those four missions gets you out of bed, you never need to pay. The photo mission in particular (walk to the bathroom sink and photograph it) is the one most people describe as the mission that works.

Alarmy calls the paid tier Premium. Searches for “Alarmy Pro” mean the same thing. The price you see in the app is the one that applies to your country and store.
What does Alarmy Premium add?
Premium removes ads and unlocks the rest of the mission set: typing a passage, walking a set number of steps, doing squats with the phone, and chaining up to three missions in a row. It adds an extra-loud effect, time and label reminders, and the option to use a custom or recorded sound as the alarm. The developer’s help centre lists the full set.
Is Alarmy Pro worth it?
It depends on one question: do the four free missions wake you? If yes, Premium buys you an ad-free screen and nothing you need. If you have learned to solve the math problem or shake the phone while still half asleep, chained missions and the walking mission are the features that change the outcome, and the yearly plan is the better value of the two. Try the free tier for a week before deciding; the trial only starts when you choose a plan.
How do you cancel Alarmy Premium?
The subscription is managed by the store, not by Alarmy. On Android, open Google Play, tap your profile, then Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions, and cancel Alarmy. On iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge; you keep Premium until the period you paid for runs out.
What if you would rather not have a subscription at all?
Two different needs hide inside that question. If you want a mission-style alarm without a recurring charge, Sleep as Android offers its CAPTCHA dismiss tasks free without limits and prices its one-time unlock inside the app, and I Can’t Wake Up! offers a barcode task free with ads. Our Alarmy alternatives guide compares them in detail.
If the real problem is not waking up but swiping away the reminder that matters later in the day (the medication, the phone-free dinner), an alarm clock is the wrong tool. Pause Moment is a scheduled screen lock, not an alarm: at the time you set, the screen locks for one to ten minutes with your own photo and your own words, and there is no snooze and no swipe. It is free to start on Android, with no ads. It will not get you out of bed; Alarmy is better at that.
Pause Moment locks your screen instead of buzzing for attention — because the dismiss reflex is faster than willpower.
Alarmy pricing questions people ask
Does Alarmy cost money?
Not unless you want it to. Alarmy's free tier is a full alarm clock with ads and four dismiss missions. Alarmy Premium removes the ads and unlocks every mission for about $5 per month or $59.99 per year, after a 7-day free trial. Prices vary by country and store.
Do you have to pay for Alarmy?
No. You can download Alarmy and use the alarm, sleep sounds, and four missions (math, QR or barcode scan, shake, and photo) without paying. Paying is only needed for the extra missions, the extra-loud effect, custom sounds, and removing ads.
Alarmy free vs Premium: what is the difference?
Free: the alarm, sleep sounds, ads, and four missions. Premium: no ads, the full mission set including typing, walking, squats, and chained missions, an extra-loud effect, time and label reminders, and custom or recorded alarm sounds.
Is Alarmy Pro worth it?
If four missions wake you reliably and the ads do not bother you, no. If you keep beating the free missions half-asleep and need chained missions or walking to get out of bed, or you want an ad-free alarm, the yearly plan is the better value of the two.
Does Alarmy have a lifetime subscription?
As of September 2026 the developer lists monthly and yearly Premium plans. The Google Play listing shows in-app items priced from $0.99 to $89.99, so check the Premium screen inside the app for any one-time offer in your region.
Can I use Alarmy for free forever?
Yes. The free tier has no time limit. The 7-day trial applies only if you start a Premium subscription, and it converts to a paid plan unless you cancel before the trial ends.
