# Light vs FlashLight LED HD

The clearest difference is rating: FlashLight LED HD at 4.4 against Light's 3.3. FlashLight LED HD also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Light's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (93% vs 79%). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Light sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. FlashLight LED HD asks for nothing beyond the download.

FlashLight LED HD holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.4K and 778 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Light's written reviews are positive against 79% of FlashLight LED HD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Light ships an update every 5 months, FlashLight LED HD every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
