The Strobe and Blink modes flash rapidly; if you or anyone nearby is sensitive to flashing light or has photosensitive epilepsy, please avoid them. While the light is on, the screen stays awake and uses battery, and can warm your phone during long use.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ARKA Torch at Free against Safety Light's $0.99. ARKA Torch also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks). Safety Light's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
