# Light vs iLed Flashlight

The clearest difference is ads: Light at none against iLed Flashlight's shown. Light also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 74) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). iLed Flashlight's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Light sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and iLed Flashlight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.3 for Light against 3.3 for iLed Flashlight. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Light has 3.7K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 93% and 94% positive.

Light ships an update every 5 months, iLed Flashlight every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
