Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flashlight Lightbeam at 100% against Fast Torchlight's 53%. Flashlight Lightbeam also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). Fast Torchlight's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (124 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fast Torchlight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Flashlight Lightbeam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fast Torchlight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fast Torchlight has 124 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Fast Torchlight's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flashlight Lightbeam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fast Torchlight ships an update every 7 months, Flashlight Lightbeam every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
