    Sleepal AI Lamp is a $399 bedside radar lamp in Tom's Guide, with optional AI+ at $69.99/yr on sleepal.ai/home. If that lamp, that light, or that subscription is the wrong job, here are the contactless picks I can quote with a sourced price.

    Disclosure: I am Dovy, founder of Komori Care. We are building a contactless bedside sleep monitor, coming 2027, wellness only.

    Quick answer

    Pick by the job Sleepal is not doing for you:

    • No subscription, under the mattress: Withings Sleep, $199.95 on the US store. No subscription shown on that page.
    • Cheapest radar on a nightstand: Google Nest Hub 2nd Gen, $99.99 as listed on Google Store in October 2026. Soli radar. One sleeper. A bright display.
    • Nightstand clock plus tracking: Hatch Sleep Clock, $249.99 as listed on hatch.co in October 2026. Sleep tracking included, no subscription required, per Hatch.
    • Bedside sonar, if you can still find one: SleepScore Max, $149.99 list. The iOS app was removed from the App Store Oct 13, 2024 (AppBrain). We could not find a current official shop.
    • No screen or light, can wait: Komori Care, coming 2027, wellness only.

    3-year cost is the live purchase question. Sleepal $399 plus $69.99/yr versus Withings $199.95 with no subscription. Use the sleep tracker cost calculator. Head-to-head: Sleepal vs Withings Sleep. Published accuracy: validation scoreboard.

    Withings Sleep

    Under-mattress pad. $199.95 on the US Sleep page. No subscription shown there. JMIR Human Factors 2026 (117 healthy adults, home PSG): 87% sleep/wake, 63% four-stage (paper).

    You give up the lamp and the nightstand radar. You put a pad under the mattress. One pad, one sleeper is the usual limit.

    Google Nest Hub 2nd Gen

    Cheapest radar on this list. $99.99 on the Google Store in October 2026. Soli radar for duration, breathing, and movement. Google's FAQ says it tracks a single person, and another person or a pet in the same spot "will affect your data" (Sleep Sensing FAQ).

    WIRED found it overestimated REM and missed wake periods (WIRED). We do not have a published PSG accuracy figure for Nest Hub in our sources, so it is not on the validation scoreboard.

    It is a smart display. If you wanted a dedicated lamp, this is a different object. More: Nest Hub sleep sensing alternatives.

    Hatch Sleep Clock

    Nightstand clock. $249.99 on hatch.co in October 2026. Hatch says it reads breathing, movement, and presence, and that sleep tracking needs no subscription (how it works; Hatch support). Designed to follow one primary sleeper.

    Tom's Guide named it best nightstand sleep tracker (updated 6 Oct 2026) and said it often overestimated deep and REM sleep (Tom's Guide). No published PSG percentage in our sources.

    Hatch is a clock. Sleepal is a radar lamp. More: Hatch Sleep Clock alternatives.

    SleepScore Max

    Nightstand sonar. $149.99 list in our contactless comparison. Nothing under the mattress. No heart rate in the pages we cite. AppBrain shows the iOS app was removed Oct 13, 2024. We could not find a current official place to buy it.

    Treat this as a historical list price, not a cart you can open tonight. More: SleepScore Max alternatives.
