Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DropCraft at none against Mahjöng's 10. DropCraft also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). Mahjöng's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
