# JJ麻将 vs 麻将

JJ麻将 and 麻将 both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of JJ麻将's written reviews are positive against 25% of 麻将's. JJ麻将 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (192 vs 5). 麻将's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JJ麻将 sells 38 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month 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 — 4.7 for JJ麻将 against 4.6 for 麻将. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JJ麻将 has 192 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 70% of JJ麻将's written reviews are positive against 25% of 麻将's.

JJ麻将 ships an update every 2 months, 麻将 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
