Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flashlight GoodTorch at none against Torch Timer's 3. Flashlight GoodTorch also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 63%). Torch Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
