What Sleepwave does better

It tracks sleep using sonar rather than motion or a watch, so nothing has to be on your wrist or under your sheet, and it wakes you in a light phase.

Pick Sleepwave if…

you want wearable-free sleep tracking and a smart wake window.

Pick AVA if…

you want the alarm to talk, not to measure.

How AVA actually works

You set a time, pick a character voice, and say what you are working toward. Each morning AVA writes a fresh short script from your goals — and your calendar and the weather if you connect them — then speaks it in that voice over a music bed while the words appear on screen. It fires over the lock screen like a normal alarm.

The free tier is 7 AI wake-ups a month. After that the alarm still rings on a basic tone, and the AI briefing is the part you subscribe for.
