Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flashlight at none against SOS Light's 1. Flashlight also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). SOS Light's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
