Sleep Cycle (Sleep Cycle AB) is a sleep tracker and smart alarm app that also lists sleep sounds, stories and guided meditations, per its App Store listing. 2hives is a different kind of product: guided audio sessions written around you, free to listen to.
2hives is free for good: no trial, nothing to cancel, no payment card.
2hives sessions are spoken by synthetic (text-to-speech) voices, not human narrators.

Sleep Cycle tracks sleep and wakes you with an alarm; 2hives does neither, so it is an alternative for guided listening, not for tracking.
2hives is a web app with a synthetic voice, a smaller catalogue and no iPhone app. Sleep Cycle is stronger wherever those matter most to you; the lists above say where.
