Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: jLight at 4.2 against iLed Flashlight's 3.2. jLight also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 71) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). iLed Flashlight's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. iLed Flashlight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and jLight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
jLight holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: jLight has 1.8K 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 73% of jLight'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, jLight every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 21, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
