Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Alpine Performance Labs at none against Eight Sleep's 4. Alpine Performance Labs also leads on iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). Eight Sleep's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
