Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Selection at 100% against Eight Sleep's 28%. Selection also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Eight Sleep's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (17K vs 18). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
