# 明星捕鱼 vs 麻将

明星捕鱼 and 麻将 both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 66% of 明星捕鱼's written reviews are positive against 25% of 麻将's. 明星捕鱼 also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 5) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 明星捕鱼 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 麻将 sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for 明星捕鱼 against 4.6 for 麻将. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 明星捕鱼 has 3.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of 明星捕鱼's written reviews are positive against 25% of 麻将's.

明星捕鱼 ships an update monthly, 麻将 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
