Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Color Light at 4.0 against Light Flash's 1.3. Color Light also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months) and review sentiment (24% vs 0%). Light Flash's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
