Wake up to music from your Apple Music playlists. Waketune starts playing before your chosen wake-up time and gradually raises your iPhone's system volume to your target level. ⢠Create multiple alarms with a name, time and repeat days. ⢠Choose a playlist, fade-in duration and target volume for each alarm. ⢠Tap an alarm to edit it. Use its artwork switch to turn it on or off. ⢠Swipe left to delete, or use the menu to delete several alarms and sort the list. ⢠When the alarm rings, stop the music or keep listening. ⢠On iOS 26 or later, dismiss the Lock Screen alarm to choose whether to stop or continue the music. Requirements An active Apple Music subscription, a playlist containing songs in your Apple Music library, and permission to access Apple Music are required. On iOS 26 or later, allow alarms to use the Lock Screen alarm. Allow notifications and sounds for fallback alerts and warnings that background waiting may have stopped. Keep Waketune running in the background while using an alarm. Returning to the Home Screen or locking your iPhone is fine. If you force-quit Waketune in the app switcher, the music alarm cannot run. On iOS 26 or later, a basic sound can still ring if alarm permission was granted and scheduling completed. If notifications are allowed, Waketune can warn you when waiting may have stopped or music could not play. Waketune changes your iPhone's system volume to the selected target. Bluetooth or AirPlay connections may route music to another device. Check your battery and audio output before going to sleep.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Waketune at none against FadeInAlarm's 1. Waketune also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 7 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
