Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mahjong Solitaire + holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mahjong Solitaire + has 253 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Mahjong Solitaire +'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Christmas Mahjong Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mahjong Solitaire + ships an update every 4 months, Christmas Mahjong Solitaire every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
