# Best Flash Light vs Screen Light Color

The clearest difference is ads: Screen Light Color at none against Best Flash Light's shown. Screen Light Color also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 80%). Best Flash Light's advantage is ratings volume (46K vs 423). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Best Flash Light sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Screen Light Color sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Best Flash Light holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Best Flash Light has 46K ratings behind it against 423, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Best Flash Light's written reviews are positive against 90% of Screen Light Color's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Best Flash Light ships an update every 2 months, Screen Light Color monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
