Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Strobe Flashlight at none against SafeRide Beacon's shown. Strobe Flashlight also leads on device support (3 vs 1). SafeRide Beacon's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
