The short version

Erly is a wake-up-early habit app. Alarmify is a music alarm. If your problem is getting up an hour earlier than you currently do, Erly’s streak loop is the right lever. If your problem is the sound itself, Alarmify is the only app that streams a real song from Spotify or Apple Music as the alarm.

What each app is optimizing for

Erly is optimizing for behavior change around when you wake. The streak loop, the social layer, the accountability framing, all of it is about pulling your alarm one hour earlier and making it stick.

Alarmify is optimizing for what the alarm sounds like. iOS 26 AlarmKit keeps alarms reliable and Spotify and Apple Music streaming means you wake up to your own music.

Different problems, different tools. Many people stack the two and get both effects.
