# Tap to Flash Light vs Flash Sync

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tap to Flash Light at 100% against Flash Sync's 50%. Tap to Flash Light also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Flash Sync's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (161 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tap to Flash Light sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Flash Sync sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flash Sync holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash Sync has 161 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Tap to Flash Light's written reviews are positive against 50% of Flash Sync's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tap to Flash Light ships an update every 4 months, Flash Sync every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
