# Strobe Flashlight vs GenPad

The clearest difference is rating: Strobe Flashlight at 5.0 against GenPad's 4.3. Strobe Flashlight also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). GenPad's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Strobe Flashlight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GenPad has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Strobe Flashlight ships an update every 2 months, GenPad fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
