# MyLight vs bClk

The clearest difference is price: MyLight at Free against bClk's $0.99. MyLight also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (29K vs 4). bClk's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

MyLight is free to download; bClk costs $0.99 up front. MyLight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. bClk asks for nothing beyond the download.

MyLight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyLight has 29K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of MyLight's written reviews are positive against 100% of bClk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MyLight ships an update every 5 months, bClk monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
