# Let's Mahjong vs World Mahjong

The clearest difference is rating: Let's Mahjong at 4.6 against World Mahjong's 2.0. Let's Mahjong also leads on ratings volume (824 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). World Mahjong's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (79% vs 70%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Let's Mahjong sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and World Mahjong sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Let's Mahjong holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Let's Mahjong has 824 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Let's Mahjong's written reviews are positive against 79% of World Mahjong's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Let's Mahjong ships an update every 2 months, World Mahjong every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
