iFlashlight Pro turns your iPhone or iPad into a fast, reliable light, ready the instant you need it. Slide to set exactly the brightness you want, from a gentle glow to full power, using the LED flash. Need to signal for help? Switch to SOS for an automatic, recognizable flashing pattern. Want light right now? Instant Light gets you to full brightness with a single tap. No flash, or want a wider glow? Turn the whole screen into a light with a white or yellow screen light, great for reading in bed, finding something in a bag, or lighting up a room from any angle. Simple by design: no clutter, no confusing settings, just a big, easy-to-tap interface that puts the right light in your hands instantly. Please note: using the flash continuously can reduce battery life faster than normal use.
SOS Beam

Turn your phone into a Morse code signal light. SOS Beam sends real, correctly timed Morse code using your camera flash or your full screen. Tap once for SOS, or type any message and watch it flash out letter by letter. No internet, no account, no setup. TWO WAYS TO SIGNAL - Flashlight: your camera's LED flash, visible over long distances after dark - Screen: the entire display strobes bright white, for when your flash is unavailable or you want a wider, softer light ONE TAP FOR SOS The universal distress signal is always one tap away, and repeats automatically until you stop it. No menus, no typing. SEND ANY MESSAGE Type up to 40 characters. Full A-Z and 0-9 supported. Check the Morse preview before you send, then transmit it on a loop. CONTROL THE TIMING Three ready-made speeds: Slow, Normal and Fast. Or tune every interval yourself: - Dot duration: 50-1000 ms - Pause between letters: 100-1500 ms - Dash duration: 150-2000 ms - Pause between words: 200-3000 ms One tap restores the defaults. BUILT FOR ACTUAL USE - Tap anywhere on the strobe to stop instantly - Haptic feedback confirms every action - Signal counter tracks your transmissions - Works completely offline 18 LANGUAGES ... WHEN YOU MIGHT NEED IT ... free, supported by ads

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: iFlashlight Pro at none against SOS Beam's shown. SOS Beam's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
