Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mahjong at 4.6 against Mahjong Blitz's 3.1. Mahjong also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 97 months) and ratings volume (33K vs 255). Mahjong Blitz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (77% vs 63%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mahjong Blitz sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mahjong sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mahjong holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mahjong has 33K ratings behind it against 255, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Mahjong Blitz's written reviews are positive against 63% of Mahjong's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mahjong Blitz ships an update every 97 months, Mahjong every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
