# Night Light Nightlight Color vs FlashLight

The clearest difference is ads: Night Light Nightlight Color at none against FlashLight's shown. Night Light Nightlight Color also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). FlashLight's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 63%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Night Light Nightlight Color sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and FlashLight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Night Light Nightlight Color holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.3K and 395 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Night Light Nightlight Color's written reviews are positive against 82% of FlashLight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Night Light Nightlight Color ships an update every 6 days, FlashLight monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
