# Flashlight × vs Screen Light Color

The clearest difference is ads: Screen Light Color at none against Flashlight ×'s shown. Screen Light Color also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). Flashlight ×'s advantage is ratings volume (31K vs 485). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flashlight × sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Screen Light Color sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Flashlight × against 4.5 for Screen Light Color. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flashlight × has 31K ratings behind it against 485, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Flashlight ×'s written reviews are positive against 90% of Screen Light Color's.

Flashlight × ships an update every 4 months, Screen Light Color every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
