Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Elsewhere Electric at none against FirstMahjong's shown. Elsewhere Electric also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). FirstMahjong's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
