Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SleepArise at none against Spin Alarm Clock's shown. SleepArise also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Spin Alarm Clock's advantage is ratings volume (716 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
