Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flashlight at 4.6 against Morse Code's 1.0. Flashlight also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 1) and review sentiment (90% vs 70%). Morse Code's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flashlight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Morse Code 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, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flashlight has 4.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Flashlight's written reviews are positive against 70% of Morse Code's.
Flashlight ships an update every 7 months, Morse Code every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
