# Ancient Games vs Labyrinth

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Labyrinth at none against Ancient Games's 11. Labyrinth also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Ancient Games's advantage is ratings volume (262 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ancient Games sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Labyrinth asks for nothing beyond the download.

Labyrinth holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ancient Games has 262 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Ancient Games ships an update every 3 weeks, Labyrinth fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
