Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flashlight ¤ at none against Flashlight.®'s shown. Flashlight ¤ also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Flashlight.®'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
