# FlashLight LED HD vs MyLight

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlashLight LED HD at none against MyLight's 1. FlashLight LED HD also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). MyLight's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 778) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyLight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. FlashLight LED HD asks for nothing beyond the download.

MyLight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyLight has 29K ratings behind it against 778, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of FlashLight LED HD's written reviews are positive against 78% of MyLight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FlashLight LED HD ships an update every 5 weeks, MyLight every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
