# 明星捕鱼 vs iTaiwan Mahjong

The clearest difference is ratings volume: 明星捕鱼 at 3.4K against iTaiwan Mahjong's 142. 明星捕鱼 also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 50%) and chart position (#145 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 iTaiwan Mahjong sells 10 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 4.5 for iTaiwan Mahjong. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 明星捕鱼 has 3.4K ratings behind it against 142, so its average is the more settled of the two.
