Mahjong (single machine)'s advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mahjong Stand holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mahjong Stand has 516 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Mahjong (single machine)'s written reviews are positive against 66% of Mahjong Stand's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mahjong (single machine) ships an update every 3 weeks, Mahjong Stand every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
