# Q Match vs Let's Mahjong

The clearest difference is rating: Let's Mahjong at 4.6 against Q Match's 3.7. Let's Mahjong also leads on ratings volume (823 vs 7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Q Match's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Let's Mahjong sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Q Match asks for nothing beyond the download.

Let's Mahjong holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Let's Mahjong has 823 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Q Match's written reviews are positive against 70% of Let's Mahjong's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Q Match ships an update every 3 weeks, Let's Mahjong every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
