# Cellar vs PintWise

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PintWise at 100% against Cellar's 33%. PintWise also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8). Cellar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (37 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PintWise sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per month. Cellar asks for nothing beyond the download.

PintWise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cellar has 37 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Cellar's written reviews are positive against 100% of PintWise's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
