Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Torch Timer at none against Silent Flash Timer's shown. Torch Timer also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (191 vs 18). Silent Flash Timer's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 63%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Torch Timer sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Silent Flash Timer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Torch Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Torch Timer has 191 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Torch Timer's written reviews are positive against 71% of Silent Flash Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Torch Timer ships an update every 4 days, Silent Flash Timer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
