Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WakeMeThere at 5.0 against Glarm's 3.9. WakeMeThere also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Glarm's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
