PAY TO SNOOZE APPS

Pay-to-snooze alarm apps compared: tokens, card charges and charity

Last checked: 18 October 2026. Prices and features come from each app's store listing and can change.

Pay-to-snooze alarm apps put a price on hitting snooze, but they charge in different ways. Some take real money per snooze through the app store or your bank card, some send it to charity, and some, like Rise, use prepaid tokens bought in packs. In most of them, getting up costs nothing.

We make Rise, one of the apps below. We've stuck to what each app's own listing says.

Here's how the main pay-to-snooze apps on Android and iPhone compare.

The three ways pay-to-snooze apps charge you

Real money per snooze

Each snooze is a payment, either through an app store in-app purchase (for example Snooze Tax, Paid Alarm Clock and Unsnooze) or a charge to a saved bank card (SnoozePay). The stakes feel highest this way.

Prepaid points or tokens

You buy a balance in advance, and each snooze spends some of it. Snooze Buster and Rise work this way. Nothing is charged at the moment you snooze.

Charity

Snooze money goes to a cause instead. Almora and Snoozly do this for snoozes. Nuj and FineTime do it for missed wake-ups. This is the route if you do not want an app developer to profit from your snoozing.

Who gets the money?

In-app purchases. The app is selling you the purchase. That covers Rise tokens, Snooze Tax, Paid Alarm Clock, Unsnooze and Snooze Buster. Rise tokens are an ordinary in-app purchase through Google Play, so the money goes to Rise, the developer. None of it goes to charity. The other listings do not say where their purchase money goes.

A card charge. SnoozePay charges your registered card through Stripe on every snooze. Its listing does not say who receives that charge.

Charity. Almora says 100% of each donation reaches the charity you picked, and that an optional subscription funds the app. Snoozly says each $1 snooze "helps support charity". The charities are not stated. Nuj donates penalties to charity, with GiveDirectly as the default, and says it keeps none apart from Stripe fees. FineTime says pledged donations go to the charities you choose, minus Stripe's fee.

Pay-to-snooze apps FAQ

What is a pay to snooze app?

A pay to snooze app is an alarm clock that puts a price on hitting snooze. The apps here charge in three ways. Some take real money for each snooze, through an app store purchase or a bank card. Some send that money to charity. Some, including Rise, use prepaid tokens or points you buy in packs. In most of them, getting up costs nothing.

Who gets the money when I pay to snooze?

An in-app purchase means the app is selling you that purchase. Rise tokens are an ordinary in-app purchase through Google Play, so the money goes to Rise, the developer. None of it goes to charity. SnoozePay charges your registered card through Stripe on every snooze. Almora says 100% of each donation reaches the charity you picked. Snoozly says a snooze helps support charity, without naming the charities. Nuj and FineTime send missed wake-up payments to charity, minus Stripe fees.

Do pay-to-snooze apps charge my card automatically?

Some do. SnoozePay charges a registered card on each snooze. Other apps use an app store purchase you approve, such as Snooze Tax, Paid Alarm Clock, Unsnooze and Snooze Buster. Rise never charges a card automatically, because you spend tokens you have already bought. You pay when you choose to buy a pack, and nothing is taken from your card at the alarm.

Is there a pay-to-snooze app that donates to charity?

Yes. Almora, on Android, lets you pledge a donation for each snooze and says 100% reaches the charity you picked. Snoozly, on iPhone and iPad, charges $1 per snooze and says that helps support charity. Its listing does not name the charities. For a missed wake-up, rather than each snooze, Nuj on iPhone and Android and FineTime on iPhone send the payment to charity.

Is there a pay-to-snooze app for Android?

Yes. Rise, Snooze Buster, SnoozePay and Almora are on Android. Rise uses optional tokens, and no card is charged automatically. Snooze Buster uses snooze points bought in the app. SnoozePay charges a registered card on each snooze. Almora pledges a donation you set. Nuj is on Android as well, and it charges for a missed wake-up rather than for each snooze.

What happens if I run out of tokens or points?

In Rise, snoozing goes back to free when your balance reaches zero. You are not asked to pay at the alarm, and dismissing the alarm still costs nothing. In Snooze Buster, the snooze button disappears at zero, and you can dismiss the alarm. Where a listing does not say, the table above shows Not stated.

How much does it cost to snooze in Rise?

You choose, for each alarm, with no minimum and no maximum. Token packs on the UK Google Play listing are 10 for £0.89, 50 for £3.49 and 200 for £8.99. Prices vary by country. The tokens do not expire. No card is charged automatically, because you spend tokens you have already bought. At a zero balance, snoozing goes back to free.

Can I change the snooze price in the morning?

No. The price is locked once the alarm rings, so you cannot change it after bedtime or while it is ringing. That is the point. The decision you made the night before stands. You choose the token cost when you set that alarm, and you can switch Pay to Snooze off for the alarm before it rings.

Can I get Rise tokens without paying?

Yes, by referring people. You get 10 tokens for each new member you refer, and only the referrer receives them. Token packs are also sold in the app: 10 for £0.89, 50 for £3.49 and 200 for £8.99 on the UK Google Play listing. Prices vary by country.

Can I get a refund on tokens?

Token purchases are handled by Google Play, so Google Play's standard purchase policies apply.

Does paying to snooze actually work?

It turns snoozing into a choice you make in advance, while you are awake, rather than a tap after the alarm has started ringing. That is the idea these apps share. There is no guarantee it will change your morning, and this page makes no claim about how quickly anyone gets up. In Rise, you can switch Pay to Snooze off for any alarm.

Is Rise on iPhone?

Not yet. Rise is on Android, and you can get it from Google Play today. An iOS version is coming soon. Until that version is available, the token wallet, the price you set for snoozing, and the alarm clock itself are on Android.
