Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smart Torch MultiTool at 4.5 against Light's 3.3. Smart Torch MultiTool also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Light's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 56). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
