Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Flashlight ◯ at 5.9K against Toolkit's 59. Flashlight ◯ also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Flashlight ◯ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Toolkit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Flashlight ◯ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flashlight ◯ has 5.9K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Flashlight ◯'s written reviews are positive against 82% of Toolkit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
