# iLed Flashlight vs MyLight

The clearest difference is rating: MyLight at 4.6 against iLed Flashlight's 3.2. MyLight also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 71). iLed Flashlight's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (94% vs 78%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iLed Flashlight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MyLight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MyLight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyLight has 29K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of iLed Flashlight'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.

iLed Flashlight ships an update every 10 days, MyLight every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on July 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
