Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flashlight at none against Flashlight's 1. Flashlight also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). Flashlight's advantage is ratings volume (4.7K vs 4) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flashlight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Flashlight asks for nothing beyond the download.
Flashlight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flashlight has 4.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Flashlight ships an update every 7 months, Flashlight fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
