# Best Flash Light vs Color Light

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Best Flash Light at 80% against Color Light's 25%. Best Flash Light also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Color Light's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Best Flash Light sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Color Light sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Best Flash Light holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Best Flash Light has 46K ratings behind it against 328, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Best Flash Light's written reviews are positive against 25% of Color Light's.

Best Flash Light ships an update every 2 months, Color Light every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
