# EcoMahjong vs Match Jam 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Match Jam 3D at 4.9 against EcoMahjong's 4.3. Match Jam 3D also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 3). EcoMahjong's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EcoMahjong sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Match Jam 3D sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Match Jam 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Jam 3D has 19K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of EcoMahjong's written reviews are positive against 47% of Match Jam 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EcoMahjong ships an update every 2 weeks, Match Jam 3D weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
