# 明星捕鱼 vs Amatsuki Mahjong

The clearest difference is ads: Amatsuki Mahjong at none against 明星捕鱼's shown. 明星捕鱼's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 33%) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 105). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 明星捕鱼 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Amatsuki Mahjong sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. 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 4.7 for Amatsuki Mahjong. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 明星捕鱼 has 3.4K ratings behind it against 105, 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 33% of Amatsuki Mahjong's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
