The clearest difference is price: MyLight at Free against Flashlight 4 in 1's $3.99. MyLight also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 422). Flashlight 4 in 1's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

MyLight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4.

Written reviews complicate that: 76% of MyLight's written reviews are positive against 82% of Flashlight 4 in 1's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
