# Night Light Lite Nightlight vs FlashLight

The clearest difference is rating: Night Light Lite Nightlight at 4.6 against FlashLight's 4.3. Night Light Lite Nightlight also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (10K vs 358). FlashLight's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 73%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Night Light Lite Nightlight sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and FlashLight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Night Light Lite Nightlight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Night Light Lite Nightlight has 10K ratings behind it against 358, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Night Light Lite Nightlight's written reviews are positive against 82% of FlashLight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Night Light Lite Nightlight ships an update weekly, FlashLight monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
