Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Moldvay's Labyrinth at none against Silversword's 10. Moldvay's Labyrinth also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Silversword's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (265 vs 15). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Silversword costs $3.99 and Moldvay's Labyrinth $4.99 up front. Silversword sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Moldvay's Labyrinth asks for nothing beyond the download.
Silversword holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Silversword has 265 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Silversword's written reviews are positive against 100% of Moldvay's Labyrinth's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Silversword ships an update every 2 months, Moldvay's Labyrinth every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
