Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flashlight Ⓞ at none against Flashlight's shown. Flashlight Ⓞ also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 4) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Flashlight's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
