Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 日本語麻雀 at Free against supertype's $1.99. 日本語麻雀 also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). supertype's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
