Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mahjong 3! at 4.6 against Mahjong Blitz's 3.1. Mahjong 3! also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 97 months) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 255). Mahjong Blitz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
