Alarmo originally launched for $99.99 and was exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members. It’s since gone on general sale, but increased in price to $110 in August, 2025, which also saw the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch OLED go up in price.

Alarmo can sense whether you actually get up when your alarm goes off, thanks to its motion sensing technology. However, it works best if you sleep along and without pets, which makes it predominately aimed at a younger audience or single people.
