Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Spectrum at 5.0 against Flash_Me's 4.0. Spectrum also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Flash_Me's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
