Which one to pick
Take the yearly plan unless you have a reason not to: it is 80% cheaper than paying weekly for the same year ($39.99 against $207.48), and it is the only plan with a free trial.
Weekly makes sense for a specific stretch (exam weeks, a new shift pattern) where you know the end date. Lifetime makes sense if you already know this works for you and would rather stop thinking about it.
The honest comparison
Why Roosta costs money at all
The largest app in this category runs advertising in its free tier, and that is the single most common complaint in its reviews. The problem is not that ads exist. It is where they sit. An advert between a person and a silent alarm, at the exact moment they are least able to tolerate friction they did not choose, is a bad trade for everyone.
It is also a reliability problem. An ad has to load, which means the dismiss path needs a network. Roosta's alarm path never touches the network, and it could not make that promise while showing ads. Charging for the app is what buys the right to refuse them.
If price is your main concern, that is a completely reasonable position, and there are free alarm apps with no subscription at all. We say so plainly on our alternatives page, including the ones that beat us on cost.
FAQ
Pricing questions
How much does Roosta cost?
Roosta is $3.99 a week, $39.99 a year, or $99.99 once for lifetime access. All three unlock exactly the same app: all 18 missions and all 21 sounds. Prices are converted to your store currency by Apple and Google.
Is there a free version of Roosta?
No. Roosta is paid, with no free tier and no advertising. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial so you can test it against real mornings before paying, and you can cancel during the trial without being charged.
Does Roosta have ads?
No. An advert standing between a person and a silent alarm at 6am is a genuinely bad experience, and it would also break the promise that the alarm path never needs a network. Being paid is what makes that promise possible to keep.
How long is the free trial?
The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial. The weekly and lifetime plans do not, and bill immediately. You can cancel a trial from your App Store or Google Play subscription settings and you will not be charged.
What happens to my alarms if I cancel?
Alarms you have already scheduled keep ringing until the end of the period you paid for. After that the app needs an active plan again. Nothing is deleted: your alarms, missions and wake history are all still there when you come back.
Is the lifetime plan really lifetime?
It is a one-time purchase that unlocks the app on your store account for as long as the app exists, with no renewal. It is not a promise that Roosta will be maintained forever, because nobody can honestly make that promise about software.
Can I use one plan on more than one device?
Purchases follow your App Store or Google Play account, so Roosta unlocks on the devices signed in to that account on the same platform. Buying on iOS does not unlock Android, because the two stores do not share purchases. Wake history is stored per-device.
