Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WakeBand at 100% against Motion Alarm Clock's 51%. WakeBand also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Motion Alarm Clock's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 1.9) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 17). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Motion Alarm Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. WakeBand asks for nothing beyond the download.
Motion Alarm Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Motion Alarm Clock has 1.3K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Motion Alarm Clock's written reviews are positive against 100% of WakeBand's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Motion Alarm Clock ships an update every 6 months, WakeBand every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
