Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flashlight at none against Fast Torchlight's 1. Flashlight also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). Fast Torchlight's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (127 vs 4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
