Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VineCrawl at 44% against NC Wine's 0%. VineCrawl also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). NC Wine's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NC Wine holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NC Wine has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of VineCrawl's written reviews are positive against 0% of NC Wine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VineCrawl ships an update every 2 months, NC Wine every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
