# Flashlight ◊ vs WiFi Connect

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flashlight ◊ at none against WiFi Connect's 9. WiFi Connect's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (6.5K vs 490). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WiFi Connect sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Flashlight ◊ asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Flashlight ◊ against 4.3 for WiFi Connect. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WiFi Connect has 6.5K ratings behind it against 490, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 65% and 66% positive.

Flashlight ◊ ships an update every 3 months, WiFi Connect fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
