Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flashlight GoodTorch at 85% against LightBox Lite's 38%. Flashlight GoodTorch also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.2) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 50 months). LightBox Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
