Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Silver Live at Free against SilverBug's $3.99. Silver Live also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). SilverBug's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#57 vs unranked). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
