Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flashlight at 4.9 against xFlash's 4.4. Flashlight also leads on ratings volume (99K vs 133) and review sentiment (90% vs 67%). xFlash's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
