Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Torch Timer sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Flashlight Lightbeam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Torch Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Torch Timer has 191 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Torch Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flashlight Lightbeam'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, Flashlight Lightbeam every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
