# Frame vs Flashlight Lightbeam

The clearest difference is rating: Frame at 5.0 against Flashlight Lightbeam's 4.2. Frame also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.1). Flashlight Lightbeam's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Frame sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Flashlight Lightbeam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Frame holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flashlight Lightbeam has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
