Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cozy Mahjong at 4.6 against Widgle's 3.8. Cozy Mahjong also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (301 vs 4). Widgle's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cozy Mahjong holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cozy Mahjong has 301 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Widgle's written reviews are positive against 86% of Cozy Mahjong's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Widgle ships an update every 5 weeks, Cozy Mahjong every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
